Agreed for component, but he specifically mentions composite at the end - horrible way of doing it.

Photoshop certainly handles it, though I think a plug-in is required. There were some Nikon/Fujifilm D-SLRs that supported TIFF YC as an alternative to RAW.

He says: "In broadcast television and composite video one passes the Cr and Cb channels through bandwidth limiting filters and then on to modulate the I and Q quadrature channels of a dual-sideband suppressed subcarrier." which is a statement of how colour television works. I don't read any endorsement there. Cheers, David |
