Quote - " If images are not gamma encoded, they allocate too many bits or too much bandwidth to highlights that humans cannot differentiate, and too few bits/bandwidth to shadow values that humans are sensitive to and would require more bits/bandwidth to maintain the same visual quality."
Normal images have RGB with 8 bits and always use 8 bits, gamma encoding will not make it use 5 bits and without GC it will not be 10 bits. It always are 8 bits and always consume the same bandwidth, no matter if is gamma encoded or not or is black or pink color, always are used 8 bits.
You don't understand what it says. It doesn't say anything at all about the total bandwidth. You display a singular lack of ability to track a technical argument.
It is talking about the distribution of that bandwidth. How much is given to values near maximum versus minimum. If linear encoding is used, we have many fine-grained steps near white, and hardly any steps near black. This means that the full range of luminance is starved for bandwidth at the low end, and has bandwidth to spare at the high end.
Gamma encoding rearranges that distribution so that perceptual changes in luminance are equally spaced throughout the numeric range of 256 values.
You are beyond tiresome. Learn to read. You claimed to understand relativity at 14. I think you understand only about 1/3rd of what you read. The rest you make up. Practically every technical accusation you make involves carefully rearranging words, or leaving out important words, so as to subtlely change the meaning. Most people cannot tell you for the faker you are, but I am not easily befuddled by techno-speak. I can understand every mistake you make, and explain how you made it. You're not used to that, and what I don't understand is how you keep coming back without once ever acknowledging any refutations. You keep making new points instead of recognizing all the bad ones you made so far.
It doesn't work. You're like an infinite supply of balloons and I'm a pin. It's no contest, but you keep coming back anyway.
Pop pop pop.
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)
