Color Space Tool is used to work in multiple color space formats.

# Color Space Tool
By default Fusion uses RGB as color space. Most tools interpret the primary channel as Red, Green and Blue. So when you change the RGB space, you might see some artifacts going on. The workaround this is to use two color space tools, one for changing color space to desired option and then use second one to convert it back to RGB. However the Alpha channel is never changed by the color space conversion.
We have got three switches for Color Space Conversion, None, to color and to RGB. When none is selected this tool has no effect on the image. To color will convert the color space selected in the color type controls, 6 in number. To RGB will convert color space back to the RGB color space.
Color Type>>>
HSV (Hue/Saturation/Value) : Each pixel is described as Hue/Saturation/Value component.
YUV (Luma, Blue Chroma And Red Chroma): Used in the analog broadcast of PAL video.
YIQ (Luma, In Phase And Quadrature) : Used in the analog broadcast of NTSC video.
CMY (Cyan, Magenta And Yellow) : CMY color space is non-linear. Each pixel is described in terms of its Cyan, Magenta and Yellow components.
HLS (Hue, Luminance And Saturation) : It is slightly different from the HSV color space.
XYZ (CIE Format): Used to perform gamut conversion.
Negative: Color space remains RGBA while color channels are inverted.
BW: The image is converted to black and white. Once you activate this option, three sliders appear in the tool settings, these three sliders are for channel dominance over luminance of the image. Like negative color space the color space of the image remains RGBA.
