Hi! I am wondering which data type GIMP uses to represent the color in a pixel of an image? 8 bits/channel? 12 or 16 bits? float?
According to http://pippin.gimp.org/image_processing/chap_dir.html#id2525344, there seems to be some different representation types, but glaus is somewhat unknown to me, though. I’m having a bit of trouble myself deciding which type I should have in the program I’m going to make, to use for each channel. If I use 8 bits per channel, the different functions will probably run a bit faster than if I use floating point values. If you should, by chance, use floating point representation of the colors, is there some function in GIMP to read a jpg image directly into an image with floats, instead of using some function already existing to read it into an image with 24-bit color and then convert it to floating point values? /Kristofer -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Image-color-representation--tp17855048p17855048.html Sent from the Gimp Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
