stoft "Sure. No, it's not a photon count, but it is related -- though the DSLR is attempting to extract data that represents a film negative. To do that, ..." | Read more » almost 8 years ago
stoft "Right, the (R+G+B)/3 average contains all the camera can deliver. [Aside: There are, however, separate 'weighted' formulas for combining RGB to get..." | Read more » almost 8 years ago
stoft "Jeff, I'd like to suggest that 'notes' have generally taken the form of either 1) "completed" sets of information or 2) focused topics of "open-end..." | Read more » almost 8 years ago
