  Lustre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lustre (American English: luster) is a description of the way light interacts with the surface of a crystal, rock or mineral.
For example, a diamond is said to have an adamantine lustre and pyrite is said to have a metallic lustre.
The word lustre traces its origins back to the Latin word lux, meaning "light", and generally implies radiance, gloss, or brilliance.

Silver lustre is believed to have been rediscovered along in the 1780's by Thomas Wedgwood, youngest son of Josiah Wedgwood.
These plain, early pieces, lustred inside and out, frequently "were cast in old Queen Anne silverware moulds or modelled in flutings and headings by hand." But since the imitation fooled no one, all-over silvering was shortly dropped.

 Post: Discreet Lustre V.2.5
Lustre was introduced at NAB 2003 by both Discreet and Hungary-based Colorfront, a highly innovative software development company with extensive experience in film post production.
Lustre is a scene-based digital color grading system that provides a feature set for matching color across shots and for creating color-based effects on film and high-quality HD/SD video source material.
One of the most important and appealing aspects of Lustre is that it can share media with other Discreet products, making it easier to collaborate because color grading metadata can be applied/rendered at any point of the post production process.

 Fatimid Lustre: Pre-Fatimid lustre in Egypt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
However, there is some evidence that lustre was already being produced in North Africa before the rise of the Fatimid dynasty.
As we have seen [abbasids.htm], lustre ceramics came very early to North Africa: the date of the tiling of the mihrab of the Qairawan mosque in present-day Tunisia (c.862-3) is the terminus ante quem most frequently cited for the invention of lustre.
At the fall of the Fatimid dynasty in 1171, we assume that the potters migrated back towards their original homeland and settled in Kashan, but it is equally likely that breakaway groups settled elsewhere, and perhaps it is more likely that they settled in the Mediterranean region.
