Ok, gamma them. Sorry, I am not versed in the mathematic fundamentals of thes corrections. However I will implement an exponentiatio operand - so one may use other gammas as well. But itŽwill have to use F.P. so expect it to be _slow_ . > I think that what GSR is really asking for in effect layers > is stuff like 'blur layers', 'pixelize layers', etc, which > basically is what everyone really wants. :) These require > a decorrelation between the positions of pixels of different > drawables though -- I made a working prototype of this > during 1.1.x and it wasn't pretty.
