While it isn't completely clear what the correct way to display images is, if eog is in fact currently displaying them correctly it would help to have an option to display them 'literally'. It doesn't seem like there is any way to do this. Exact comparisons are helpful to diagnose problems in other programs, or even for things like just understanding whether the rgb to yuv conversion is linear or follows some other equation, for someone who has encountered that situation without much knowledge about it.
For example, suppose you want to compare whether Youtube's video player is displaying a video the same as your local player does. You could press "F" every time you switch to Youtube to cause it to go fullscreen, then switch to the other player while staring at the same spot. Or you could screenshot Youtube's display and compare to the screenshot. But if eog is the default image viewer and it displays it differently from how it originally appeared, you might make the wrong diagnosis and waste time. ** Attachment added: "geq-255.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/1436595/+attachment/4366261/+files/geq-255.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1436595 Title: Images too bright To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/1436595/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
