Multi-compatible low and high dynamic range and high bit-depth texture and video encoding system
A method of processing image data includes generating image data including luminance and chrominance data representing a selected object, separating the luminance and chrominance data, storing the separated luminance and chrominance data in corresponding separate spaces in memory, and separately compressing the stored luminance and chrominance data.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the standard encoding format is JPEG, MPEG, JPEG-2000, AVI, TIFF, HEVC, BMP, GIF, or ZIP.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein an RGB CL-index is created and stored in metadata of a chosen encoding system format.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the luma and chroma input image or video data is either a floating point or an integer value.
10. A method for decoding an image or video comprising encoded data, the method comprising:
decoding the encoded data into luma and chroma image or video; and
reconstructing the image or video based on the luma and the chroma decoded data,
wherein an RGB CL-index is stored in metadata of the encoded data and, wherein the RGB CL-index is extracted from the metadata.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the method uses a dot product between the luma image or video and the RGB CL-index to reconstruct pre-luma values, following which the pre-luma values are re-scaled to reconstruct the luma values of the reconstructed image or video.
12. A method for decoding an image or video comprising:
decoding coded image or video comprising luma, chroma and fractional luma data;
reconstructing the image or video based on luma, chroma and fractional luma data; and
rescaling, inverting and gamma correcting the luma and fractional luma data prior to reconstructing luma values of the reconstructed image or video.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the encoded image or video data is decoded with standard decoders.
14. A method for processing image or video data comprising:
receiving as input an image or video;
separating the image or video data into a luma image or video data and a chroma image or video data;
storing the luma image or video data and chroma image or video data in corresponding separate spaces in memory; and
separately compressing the luma image or video data and chroma image or video data, wherein the input image or video can range from an 8-bit per color channel to a 32-bit per color channel image or video data, further comprising scaling the stored luma image or video data before compressing.
15. A method for processing image or video data comprising:
receiving as input an image or video;
separating the image or video data into a luma image or video data and a chroma image or video data;
storing the luma image or video data and chroma image or video data in corresponding separate spaces in memory; and
