<!--l. 30--><p class="noindent" ><a name="nip_label_sec:menu-colour"></a> <!--l. 32--><p class="indent" > This menu groups operations on colorimetric images and
patches of colour. A colour patch is three float numbers plus
a tag saying how those number should be interpreted as
colour (for example, as a colour in CIE LAB colourspace).
You can drag and drop between colour patches, and
into and from the inkwell in an image paint window.
Double-left-click on a colour patch to open a colour select
dialog.

Table <a
href="#x23-450011">5.1<!--tex4ht:ref: tb:colour --></a>. All these types are D65 (that is, daylight)
absolute colorimetric. When it displays an image, <span
class="phvr7t-x-x-80">nip2 </span>uses
the <span
class="phvr7t-x-x-80">Type </span>field in the image header as a hint on how to
transform the numbers in the image into RGB for the
display. The current <span
class="phvr7t-x-x-80">Type </span>is displayed at the end of the
caption line below an image thumbnail.

class="phvr7t-x-x-80">RGB16 </span>types are not really
calibrated themselves: they are usually whatever you get by
loading an image from a file. You’ll usually need an extra
step, such as applying an embedded ICC profile, before you
get accurate colour.
