There was the problem of that SGI patent that prevented using floats for framebuffers ... floats make a lot more sense rather than using this gamma nonsense.

- ansgri 7y agoAFAIK in HDR photography they often use linear uint16. I understand that it could be not enough for strong highlight modeling, but for general purpose compositing that should be ok. With an additional layer with like +8 bits of highlight resolution.
