“Ansel Adams Zone System: Techniques for rendering HDR scenes on LDR film media”
European Conference on Visual Perception, Alghero, Italy, 2012.
The Ansel Adams Zone System, first described in 1949, was a two-step process that described techniques for scene capture and spatial manipulation of the rendered image [Adams, 1981]. The exposures of the film negative was calculated from spot-photometer scene measurements that determined the scene range. That range determined both the camera exposure and the development procedure in order to capture the entire scene range in the negative. Prints have a very limited range, so spatial dodging and burning techniques compressed the scene information into the rendition range. This work describes the Adam's Zone System and the parallel process of our human vision system to capture dynamic range of natural scenes. In particular the work focuses on the parallels with the High-Dynamic Range (HDR) rod/cone response and the LDR range of ganglion cells. Both the Zone System and human vision underline the important distinction of actual and apparent dynamic range of luminance.

2021 Congress of International Color Association (AIC)
Deane B. Judd Award 2021 Lecture
Recently John had a very pleasant surprise. He received an email from Vien Cheung, President of the International Color Association <https://aic-color.org>. She wrote John to inform him that he will receive the Deane B. Judd Medal at the AIC Congress in Milano in September.
The AIC (Association Internationale de la Colour) is made up of 25 Color Societies in 25 different countries. <https://aic-color.org/members> AIC is the organization that coordinates activities across all the international Color Groups. Every four years they hold a Congress that brings together all Members, this year it is in Milano. The AIC Congress is unusual in that they incorporate all disciplines of Color: physics, psychophysics, color technologies, architecture, design, and artists.
Vien wrote: “AIC Judd Medal is to recognise work of international importance in the fields of colour perception, colour measurement and colour technology. It is the highest honour that can be bestowed by the international colour community.”
