As you may guess, this process imports the CIE L. Well, not as lame as it sounds. It does not just inserts the new luminance, but performs a saturation correction procedure. The results are quite good with several applications. For example, a new luminance as result of:
- Modification by curves or histogram transform.
- Result of a Deconvolution, Wavelets, Convolutions, HDRWT, etc.
Please note that this process must be applied to the original image. The new (processed) luminance must be a new image. All the color correction is handled internally. So, if you want to fix artefacts generated, for example, a deconvolution, or enhance saturation in the previously very bright features attenuated by a HDR process, you must extract the luminance from the unmodified image, modify that with your desired process, and then import the luminance with ImportL.
