See how he attacks and confuses.
The transfer function is called sRGB. Nobody said it is x^2.2. That is an approximation that is correct to within a tiny percentage.
The sRGB specifies a transfer function that is neither a simple linear function nor a simple exponential function. But it is designed to be closely approximated by x^2.2. In any case, it isn't a straight line and even Robyn is misleading.
This isn't just about linear rendering. It starts with the premise that digital images are nonlinear, specifically because they are designed for computer displays in the sRGB format.
Then you realize that "the rendering equation" is linear, and that to use the images and colors you want, you must transform them from sRGB color space to linear first. Then you render. Then you convert from linear color space to sRGB color space.
This isn't an Internet thing, kawecki, and you really really are a ridiculous distraction because you are unable to read the simplest explanations. You are one of those people who have parts of their brains running at brilliant levels, but other parts well below normal. The result is you have trouble assimilating information that doesn't fit your partial understanding of things, and you also have sufficient success in some limited areas that you think you're an authority on everything.
I am not selling anything and for you to accuse me of doing so is cowardly and another demonstration fo your lack of social skills which interferes with me and causes confusion on a regular basis. It also demonstrates that your ability to reason is flawed, deeply. Whether or not I sell something in no way alters the fact that there is a standard called sRGB. I did not invent the standard, and you keep trying to distract people with nonsense that fails to address the sRGB standard.
I have done nothing but give things away. I have no products. You're obnoxious as all hell, and you're wasting my efforts to help people understand things. You need to stop, very badly. Last time you sent me over the top, I left the forum for a week and the whole Luxpose effort stalled while I was gone.
You make my hands shake.
I'm going out all day and I got up now at 5 am thinking to try to finish the Luxpose 0.2.0 and get it out so people could play with it all weekend.
But now, you've pissed me off so bad, I can barely type.
So - people - here's another day where you have no Luxpose from me and it's kawecki's doing.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
