Quote - Using the 8-bit system, it is impossible to represent the true value known as mid-gray, or .5. The reason is the value needed is half of the maximum value. The maximum value is 255. What is half of 255? Is it 127? Nope. It is 127.5!

So Poser is lying to you. The mid-gray you see is actually .5 expressed as a decimal fraction of the unit maximum. When it shows you 127,127,127 it is not the truth. The truth is 127.5, 127.5, 127.5, but it can't show you that because the integer representation is, well, an integer.

Shouldn't mid-gray be 128,128,128 ? True, the max val is 255, but the min value is 0, so there's a range of 256, so half of that is 128.
