+values further because this avoids the need to decode and re-encode each

 component value whenever arithmetic is performed.  A lot of graphics software

 uses linear values for this reason, often with higher precision component values

 to preserve overall accuracy.

 

+

+The output_gamma value expresses how to decode the output values, not how

+they are encoded.  The values used correspond to the normal numbers used to

+describe the overall gamma of a computer display system; for example 2.2 for

+an sRGB conformant system.  The values are scaled by 100000 in the _fixed

+version of the API (so 220000 for sRGB.)

+

+The inverse of the value is always used to provide a default for the PNG file

+encoding if it has no gAMA chunk and if png_set_gamma() has not been called

+to override the PNG gamma information.

+

+When the ALPHA_OPTIMIZED mode is selected the output gamma is used to encode

+opaque pixels however pixels with lower alpha values are not encoded,

+regardless of the output gamma setting.

+

+When the standard Porter Duff handling is requested with mode 1 the output

+encoding is set to be linear and the output_gamma value is only relevant

+as a default for input data that has no gamma information.  The linear output

+encoding will be overridden if png_set_gamma() is called - the results may be

+highly unexpected!

+

+The following numbers are derived from the sRGB standard and the research

+behind it.  sRGB is defined to be approximated by a PNG gAMA chunk value of

+0.45455 (1/2.2) for PNG.  The value implicitly includes any viewing

+correction required to take account of any differences in the color

+environment of the original scene and the intended display environment; the

+value expresses how to *decode* the image for display, not how the original

+data was *encoded*.

+

+sRGB provides a peg for the PNG standard by defining a viewing environment.

+sRGB itself, and earlier TV standards, actually use a more complex transform

+(a linear portion then a gamma 2.4 power law) than PNG can express.  (PNG is

+limited to simple power laws.)  By saying that an image for direct display on

+an sRGB conformant system should be stored with a gAMA chunk value of 45455

+(11.3.3.2 and 11.3.3.5 of the ISO PNG specification) the PNG specification

+makes it possible to derive values for other display systems and

+environments.

+

+The Mac value is deduced from the sRGB based on an assumption that the actual

+extra viewing correction used in early Mac display systems was implemented as

+a power 1.45 lookup table.

+

+Any system where a programmable lookup table is used or where the behavior of

+the final display device characteristics can be changed requires system

+specific code to obtain the current characteristic.  However this can be

+difficult and most PNG gamma correction only requires an approximate value.

+

+By default, if png_set_alpha_mode() is not called, libpng assumes that all

+values are unencoded, linear, values and that the output device also has a

+linear characteristic.  This is only very rarely correct - it is invariably

+better to call png_set_alpha_mode() with PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB than rely on the

+default if you don't know what the right answer is!

+

+The special value PNG_GAMMA_MAC_18 indicates an older Mac system (pre Mac OS

+10.6) which used a correction table to implement a somewhat lower gamma on an

+otherwise sRGB system.

+

+Both these values are reserved (not simple gamma values) in order to allow

+more precise correction internally in the future.

+

+NOTE: the values can be passed to either the fixed or floating

+point APIs, but the floating point API will also accept floating point

+advantage is that the color channels can be resampled (the image can be

+described below (the latter being the two common names for associated alpha

+color channels). Note that PNG files always contain non-associated color

+Since it is not necessary to perform arithmetic on opaque color values so

 mode is libpng-specific you also need to write your own composition

+The following are examples of calls to png_set_alpha_mode to achieve the

+required overall gamma correction and, where necessary, alpha

+premultiplication.

+

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);

+

+This is the default libpng handling of the alpha channel - it is not

+pre-multiplied into the color components.  In addition the call states

+that the output is for a sRGB system and causes all PNG files without gAMA

+chunks to be assumed to be encoded using sRGB.

+

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_GAMMA_MAC);

+

+In this case the output is assumed to be something like an sRGB conformant

+display preceeded by a power-law lookup table of power 1.45.  This is how

+early Mac systems behaved.

+

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD, PNG_GAMMA_LINEAR);

+

+This is the classic Jim Blinn approach and will work in academic

+environments where everything is done by the book.  It has the shortcoming

+of assuming that input PNG data with no gamma information is linear - this

+is unlikely to be correct unless the PNG files where generated locally.

+Most of the time the output precision will be so low as to show

+significant banding in dark areas of the image.

+

+    png_set_expand_16(pp);

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_STANDARD, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);

+

+This is a somewhat more realistic Jim Blinn inspired approach.  PNG files

+are assumed to have the sRGB encoding if not marked with a gamma value and

+the output is always 16 bits per component.  This permits accurate scaling

+and processing of the data.  If you know that your input PNG files were

+generated locally you might need to replace PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB with the

+correct value for your system.

+

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_OPTIMIZED, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);

+

+If you just need to composite the PNG image onto an existing background

+and if you control the code that does this you can use the optimization

+setting.  In this case you just copy completely opaque pixels to the

+output.  For pixels that are not completely transparent (you just skip

+those) you do the composition math using png_composite or png_composite_16

+below then encode the resultant 8-bit or 16-bit values to match the output

+encoding.

+

+    Other cases

+

+If neither the PNG nor the standard linear encoding work for you because

+of the software or hardware you use then you have a big problem.  The PNG

+case will probably result in halos around the image.  The linear encoding

+will probably result in a washed out, too bright, image (it's actually too

+contrasty.)  Try the ALPHA_OPTIMIZED mode above - this will probably

+substantially reduce the halos.  Alternatively try:

+

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_BROKEN, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);

+

+This option will also reduce the halos, but there will be slight dark

+halos round the opaque parts of the image where the background is light.

+In the OPTIMIZED mode the halos will be light halos where the background

+is dark.  Take your pick - the halos are unavoidable unless you can get

+your hardware/software fixed!  (The OPTIMIZED approach is slightly

+faster.)

+

+When the default gamma of PNG files doesn't match the output gamma.

+If you have PNG files with no gamma information png_set_alpha_mode allows

+you to provide a default gamma, but it also sets the ouput gamma to the

+matching value.  If you know your PNG files have a gamma that doesn't

+match the output you can take advantage of the fact that

+png_set_alpha_mode always sets the output gamma but only sets the PNG

+default if it is not already set:

+

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_DEFAULT_sRGB);

+    png_set_alpha_mode(pp, PNG_ALPHA_PNG, PNG_GAMMA_MAC);

+

+The first call sets both the default and the output gamma values, the

+second call overrides the output gamma without changing the default.  This

+is easier than achieving the same effect with png_set_gamma.  You must use

+PNG_ALPHA_PNG for the first call - internal checking in png_set_alpha will

+fire if more than one call to png_set_alpha_mode and png_set_background is

+made in the same read operation, however multiple calls with PNG_ALPHA_PNG

+are ignored.
