I was saying that one can construct a scene, that photographed with your camera, would yield the type of desired black and white - when done in sRGB or some other non sensor RGB space. So yes; for the purposes of black and white conversion and using a single channel for it - I still call that image a corner case. > * "backseat driver" > > * "half-knowledgeable filibusterer" (I'm only guessing that was directed at > me; perhaps I'm wrong) > > * suggesting on IRC that I'm "insulting GIMP" (which I have never done, GIMP > is my favorite RGB image editor) when really I'm questioning your > understanding of the requirements for proper RGB image editing > > * suggesting that because I agree that you are intelligent (obviously you > are), therefore I should stop trying to educate you about where your color > management theories took a wrong turn and are threatening to take GIMP with > them. You are quoting later venting of frustration with your later walls of text on the mailinglists questioning and demanding answers for every single little detail before details even exist. One of your quotes isn't even from IRC; and guess what, if you were on IRC I would have asked you questions there instead of venting frustration about your mailinglist posts. I ask for an assumption of good faith, that the babl/GEGL developers know what they are doing and have incorporated your input from April on out how multiply and gamma produce undesirable results for values outside the 0.0-1.0 range working with unbounded sRGB. That we want to and will incorporate that in the color management model of GEGL. A model that differs from how traditional ICC based photo editors traditionally work, GEGL has both internal (babl) and external (ICC) color management; and you have correctly pointed out that the internal color management is lacking and needs to take more RGB spaces into account. /pippin _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
