CMYK values - "Bug report"

[Bornhall]

Seriously, how can you SERIOUSLY release a software where you enter CMYK values as a value between 0 and 255?!

CMYK values are percentages of color, i.e. 0-100% (possibly with decimal places if you're really picky), not an 8-bit value.

Same goes for the SATURATION and VALUE in the HSV color model, which also should be 0-100 - not 0-255.

Also, while I'm at it, how about adding the Lab color model as well? If you can get that right... :-)

It is a matter of interpretation. We have been made aware of that 0-100 is a more common range and this will be changed for the next version. For now you can practice your math and divide by 255 and multiply by 100 The next version will also work with floating point precision.
CIE-L*ab is available in the next version.

Sounds great, but I'd beg to differ about "interpretation" of CMYK values. I work in print MAINLY, and I have NEVER seen CMYK values represented in any other way than 0-100, as a percentage. Of course you can represent it in any which way (0-1023 or whatever), but that's beside the point. Good to hear this will change in the next version along with the addition of La*b* values.

Btw, curious, how are the color values stored in the "palette" below (and overall, I guess). Because when I entered CMYK 100-60-90-20 (well, translated into your "interpretation" 255-153-230-51), but upon revisiting that saved material/color, it had become something else (rendering right now, so I can't check it) where the C-value was 100, M was set to 0(!) and Y and K to whole other values. The color basically looked the same, but it gets unbelievably confusing when color values you THINK you set changes without interaction

Keep up the otherwise good work!

P.S. Don't forget my RAL colour wish list suggestion ;-)

P.P.S. I'd rather practice my math and multiply simply by 2.55, or 100% Cyan would be 39 with your math (100 divided by 255 and then multiplied by 100 - it's the other way around dude).
