Sending a monitor a linear signal results in something that looks like the gradient to the right in the illustration above, and simply looks wrong to our eyes. Note where the borders (which are exactly mid-grey) merge with the gradient in each caseįor historical reasons, monitors and displays have the same characteristic. Right: How our eyes perceive that gradient. We see some brightnesses of light more easily than others - a gradient that proceeds in a linear fashion from black to white would not look like a linear gradient to our eyes.

The human eye doesn’t have a linear response to light intensity. Linear Textures for information on working with linear Textures.Gamma Textures with linear rendering for information on gamma Textures in a linear workflow.Linear or gamma workflow for information on selecting to work in linear or gamma color space.While gamma color space is the historically standard format, linear color space rendering gives more precise results.įor further reading, see documentation on: The Unity Editor allows you to work in traditional gamma color space as well as linear color space.
