1. "Why do you want to clamp the result?"
"Why are you defining color in different terms from Luma?"
"For color, why are you defining it in terms of 8 bit int?"

Eh, please ignore details for now. I don't know yet how will I deal with
ranges. I just wanted to show you guys that the math is really simple. But
very good questions, we will have to deal with this yes.

2. "For channel handling, is there any reason to care about what the
channels are?  If somebody sends the function an alpha channel to
contrast, or a Z-depth image, why does that matter?"

I vote not to allow this, since it makes sense only to apply contrast to a
grayscale image or color image. It is strange  applying this operation to a
channel I know it is alpha or z.

3. "In your previous email, you said you were working with the assumption
that a color
image has exactly 3 color channels.  Why is that a useful
restriction/assumption?"

Nope, I said "a color image has exactly 3 non-alpha and non-z channels".

4. Your proposal for channel masks will require significant changes I
think. I am afraid I can't make such big decisions, it depends if you guys
agree on such thing I will do it. Honestly I am against it, it will
complicate things so so much.

5. "Does it make sense for the center of the contast (the 128 in your
color example, would presumably be 0.5 in float) to be a user supplied
parameter?"

Again, we will handle these details later. I just wanted to show you guys
the math.
