CIELab L* is defined from Y and the Yw which is the Y of the "white".
BUT:
If I have specular reflections in a scene (not in a laboratory) this Yw
should be the Greater luminance in the scene, not the luminance of a
perfect diffuser ¿Isn't it?
By chance: I put in scene a white card as the reverse of the kodak gray
card. That is my "Yw"? Then all "specular" reflections will achieve a
L* 100. If the scene has no fluorescence, and there is no light source
on the frame, and only a uniform ligth is enlightneing the scene: If I
measure a tone and read 3 stops (photographically talking) or greater
than the read of the gray card I will have a reflectance greater than
1. So I supose I whould count the greater "usefull" luminance as "Yw".
¿What do you think about it?
