File talk:Linear Distribution versus Gamma Corrected Distribution.png

It's wrong, just plain wrong. What genius thought 0 sRGB equals 2^-5 in linear? Here are the correct sRGB values for each stop, with ev 0 at sRGB 255:
0 at 255
-1 at 188
-2 at 137
-3 at 99
-4 at 70
-5 at 49
-6 at 34
-7 at 22
-8 at 13
-9 at 6
-10 at 3
-11 at 1.6
-12 at 0.8

Compare with this image and you'll see how utterly wrong it is. Don't make graphs if you have no idea what you're doing folks. If you're ignorant enough to think sRGB (or gamma correction in general) is logarithmic just stop. Also I have no idea why an arbitrary 14-bit scale was chosen for linear (it's wrong to assume 0 is the black point in a RAW format for instance, it's often an arbitrary value such as 384), better to use a 0.0 to 1.0 normalised scale --90.156.104.160 (talk) 13:47, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
