Just a question out of
curiosity, I cant figure out why the histogram of raw capture that has
been preserved in linear gamma gets bunched to the left. I think I
have understood what linear gamma means and why far more bits are
required to quantify highlights than shadows. What I dont
understand is why that translates as more abundant representation of
the shadow levels. I know its not a big deal but I m thinking
if I dont get this what else I am I missing?
Many more pixels in the image represent things that aren't
highlights than represent things that are?
These aren't shadow levels, they're midtones and
three-quarter-tones. In gamma 1.0, the nominal midtone is at about
level 50.
