When I look it up Wikipedia explains Color Correction as a way to change color values in a generic fashion. It's relatively broad. I haven't found a very specific definition like you. In contrast gamma correction is explained as the adjustment of the gamma of the light in general - i.e. all colors at once. You can influence the color balance though by varying the gamma of the separate gamma color channels, which is then again part of color correction. There is also the notion of color management, which is somewhat all of that as well in our context. http://www.color.org/faqs.xalter REPOSITORY R108 KWin REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D5928 To: subdiff, #kwin Cc: cfeck, graesslin, davidedmundson, plasma-devel, kwin, ZrenBot, spstarr, progwolff, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, hardening, jensreuterberg, abetts, eliasp, sebas, apol, mart, hein, lukas
