Annex P (informative) An algorithm to determine the actual blending colour space of a transparency group The diagram in this annex illustrates a possible algorithm to determine the blending colour space of a transparency group: •

Transparency groups that are non-isolated or isolated without CS entry always inherit their blending colour space from their parent group.

•

Isolated transparency groups with CS entry that is a CIE-based colour space use that CIE-based colour space.

NOTE

Isolated transparency groups with a device colour space as blending colour space first apply the default colour space mechanism.

In case of no valid default colour space remapping, the ancestor transparency groups are searched – starting with the nearest - for a possible blending colour space to inherit from. Page transparency groups, which do not have a parent, instead inherit their blending colour space from the output device, or from the output intent.
