Abstract

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