Much of what you have stated here is incorrect. For example, the encoding of a photo affects only quantization noise, and has nothing to do with the noise in the dark pixels (due to shot noise).
There are plenty of sites where you can learn more about camera noise.
- petewarden 17y agoNo, he's spot on about the advantages of 'linear light' processing. It even makes a big difference to bilinear interpolation when you're doing texture mapping. This is an incredibly confusing subject, thanks to the overlap of gamma as an encoding technique with all the other issues around color management. Poynton's Gamma FAQ is one of my favorite resources ( http://www.poynton.com/GammaFAQ.html http://www.poynton.com/GammaFAQ.html ), but even after five years working on image processing software I still have to make an effort to wrap my head around it all.
