And what was a correct blend between two colors is different when considering the…
The issue with linear tone response curves, is that they don't really work well in 8bit to begin with. You need 16bit to prevent banding, it's why the srgb tone response curve was introduced in the first place. I would't recommend using lab for painting though. Photoshop does all sorts of cheats to make lab seem like it's…
No, the scale of 0 to 255 is not interpreted as linear to the DISPLAY. It is interpreted agnostic internally. So when you have two layers, and you multiply them, so for example, red and grey: Red = (R=1.0 G=0 B=0)Grey = (R=0.5 G=0.5 B=0.5)R = 1.0 * 0.5 = 0.5G = 0.0 * 0.5 = 0.0B = 0.0 * 0.5 = 0.0Red*Grey = (R= 0.5 G=0.0…
