DESCRIPTION:

This plugin provides a 3D visualization of all colors in an image. Colors are represented as RGB-values, hence each color corresponds to a point in color space. The plugin helps in detecting color clipping etc.

100%:

Color Cube display area:
Left-click and drag to spin the Color Cube.
