Ha. RGB and CMYK I know pretty much like the back of my hand.

An easy way to look at it is that with CMYK, you start with white and
end up with black [think "printing on normal paper"]
With RGB, you start at black and go towards white [think "tv screen"].

The problem is that these are still pretty much the same colorspace,
just molested differently. What I need is another one called YCrCb,
which is what most video [including mpeg] and TV broadcasts use
[if you just grab the Y component, you have what a black and white TV
uses, IIRC]

I have an RGB image, and I need it in YCrCb. I found some simple
equations that do it, but As you can see, I don't think I'm getting it
right.
