The usual sensor uses basically three types of element -- R, G and B -- in a particular layout. Why not X Y Z where X = R+G, Y = R+G+B, Z = G+B ?
You can get RGB from XYZ easily enough: Y-X = R+G+B - R+G = B Y-Z = R+G+B - B+G = R X+Z-Y = R+G + B+G - R+G+B = R But the total light you are accepting is 2+2+3 = 7 rather than 1+1+1=3, so you are getting more photons overall. Isn't that beneficial? Y also gives you a straightforward monochrome. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
