The invention concerns a method for converting an input image comprising an input luminance component made of elements into an output image comprising an output luminance component made of elements, the respective ranges of the output luminance component values and input luminance component element values being of different range extension. the method comprises for the input image: computing a value of a general variable representative of at least two input luminance component element values; transforming each input luminance component element value into a corresponding output luminance component element value according to the computed general variable value; and converting the input image using the determined output luminance component element values. The transforming step uses a set of pre-determined output values organized into a 2D Look-Up-Table (2D LUT) comprising two input arrays indexing a set of chosen input luminance component values and a set of chosen general variable values respectively, each pre-determined output value matching a pair of values made of an indexed input luminance component value and an indexed general variable value, the input luminance component element value being transformed into the output luminance component element value using at least one predetermined output value.
