Could anyone give me a clue?
Joel,
Is it possible that your Mac and Windows platforms were at different depths?
I did a few tests, and noticed that the histogram of an image imported under
Windows was much 'cruder' than the same image imported under Mac. It occured
to me that Windows was using some cheaper algorithm to expand the JPEG data,
not using as many bits per pixel. Then I checked, and found that my Windows
machine (actually a VPC on my Mac running in 24-bit) was in 16-bit colour.
When I changed the Windows one to 24 bit, they had the same imageData.
So - unless you tell me that they were both set to 24-bit colour - I think
there's a perfectly straightforward explanation.
The image is imported from a JPEG file; Rev stores the actual JPEG data as the
'text' of the image, ie what gets actually saved in the stack file. When the
image is displayed, it is rendered into a buffer, which is probably the same
depth as the screen (or alternatively, perhaps the buffer is always 24-bit,
but the JPEG expansion code operates in a way based on the screen depth).
Either way, when you ask for the imageData, you're getting a 5-bits per
channel pixmap expanded to 8-bits per channel - hence the slight differences.
