The ProPhoto RGB color space, also known as ROMM RGB (Reference Output Medium Metric), is an output referred
When working in color spaces with such a large gamut, it is recommended to work in 16-bit color depth to avoid posterization effects. This will occur more frequently in 8-bit modes as the gradient steps are much larger.
There are two corresponding scene space color encodings known as RIMM RGB (Reference Input Medium Metric) intended to encode standard dynamic range scene space images, and ERIMM RGB intended to encode extended dynamic-range scene space images.[5][6]
Development
The development of ProPhoto RGB and other color spaces is documented in an article[7] summarizing a presentation by one of its developers Geoff Wolfe at Kodak, now senior research manager at Canon Information Systems Research Australia, at the IS&T/SPIE Color Imaging Conference in 2011.

Viewing environment
- Luminance level is in the range of 160–640 cd/m2.
- Viewing surround is average.
- There is 0.5–1.0% viewing flare.
- The adaptive white point is specified by the chromaticity values for CIE Standard illuminant D50 (, ).
- The image color values are assumed to be encoded using flareless (or flare corrected) colorimetric measurements based on the CIE 1931 Standard Colorimetric Observer.
Encoding function

- is the maximum integer value used in the encoding function (e.g. 255 for 8-bit configuration)
