Color Profile is an Enum that represents the different color profiles (aka "color spaces") supported by Resonite in various scenarios. There are currently three possible color spaces:
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
Linear
|
0 | Represents an sRGB-like color space (primaries and white point) with a linear transfer function, and a linear alpha channel. |
sRGB
|
1 | Represents the sRGB color space, with a linear alpha channel. |
sRGBAlpha
|
2 | Represents the sRGB color space, with gamma applied to the alpha channel. Note that this profile is deprecated and may be removed in the future.[1] |
Color profiles determine how RGB values are interpreted onto your screen. Doing math operations on colors will have different results depending on the color space, so various color spaces have different usages depending on what you are doing. See What every coder should know about gamma for an overview. You only have to worry about this when directly doing math on color values in ProtoFlux or similar, passing different color profiles to something like a material color will produce consistent results as Resonite converts internally anyways.
