Abstract

A method for processing a digital image for rendering on a display. The image includes image elements associated with color information represented in a colorimetric space having a luminance and chrominance components. The luminance component has a value in a first predetermined interval. The display can render values of luminance components included in a second predetermined interval, of greater length than the first interval. The method includes: determining information representative of image brightness perceived by an observer, based on the values of the first luminance component; calculating an expansion exponent as a function of the determined brightness information; transforming the first luminance components into second luminance components, including calculating an intermediate luminance value by applying the calculated expansion exponent to the first luminance component value and multiplying the intermediate value by the length of the second interval. The expansion exponent is a decreasing function of the determined brightness information.
