rgb to CIE LAB and reverse

[jacqmax]

In Imaq there is a Vi  called rgbtocolor2.vi that is useful to convert an RGB into Cie lab color code. Is there another vi in order to convert a color in the CIE lab color space into RGB ?

I'm pretty sure there isn't a VI to do the reverse conversion, so you'll need to code it yourself.  The NI implementation of La*b* seems to be a little non-standard - see http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/La-b-colour-conversion/td-p/1646458 - I think the issue is that LabVIEW doesn't do a gamma correction, whereas most other software does.

Hello Jacqmax,

GregS is right, there is no this function. You will have to program by your own. On the next link you'll find the exact formula:
