Description: Although we have already got this support (bug 84002), it's still necessary to add some improves to give better support for this format. FreieFarbe e.V. published the CIELAB HLC Colour Atlas (XL), a free standard for color communication. On the website they provided some ASE palettes, however both of them failed on LibreOffice. https://www.freiefarbe.de/en/thema-farbe/software/ Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download ZIP package from freiefarbe 2. Extract ASE palettes 3. Move to LibreOffice user configuration folder Actual Results: While the ASE palettes installed, all of them failed to produce colors, but show rather blocks in black. Expected Results: - Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: -
ASE is not documented officially but it seems it supports several types of colour spaces: - RGB - LAB - CMYK - Grayscale See https://www.cyotek.com/blog/reading-adobe-swatch-exchange-ase-files-using-csharp I gave a try with HLC-Colour-Atlas_EPV_Swatches_v2-3.ase and could reproduce this on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today. But this palette contains "LAB" colour space and this one isn't supported. See https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/svx/source/tbxctrls /Palette.cxx?r=33966ab2#161 Chris/Tomaz: any thoughts here?
Yes, we need to add the code to convert from other colorspaces to RGB as we only handle RGB (and grayscale).
(In reply to Tomaz Vajngerl from comment #2) > Yes, we need to add the code to convert from other colorspaces to RGB as we > only handle RGB (and grayscale). yes but I read several links and the only thing that's sure is it needs a 2-steps conversion: - convert LAB to XYZ - convert XYZ to RGB See http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?Equations.html For the rest, formula, coefficients may differ. It also depends on parameters like "white point" and other elements that I don't know. See: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIELAB_color_space#RGB_and_CMYK_conversions - http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?Equations.html ... Not easy... Another thing I noticed too, according to https://www.cyotek.com/blog/reading-adobe-swatch-exchange-ase-files-using-csharp, nChunkType should be 2 bytes and nChunkSize 4 bytes. In LO codes, it's the contrary.
Dear Volga, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
