I know what I'm talking about.
Listen, anon.
To produce a non-algorithmic slop imaging device and output device you need to capture samples of different wavelengths and reproduce them. If you're relying on "RGB" of any kind and expecting it to be objective/scientifically accurate at all, you're missing the point entirely.
Foveon is better than bayer (when given enough light, static scenes, good exposure, etc) with comparable generations but it does not change the underlying reason why RGB is algorithmic slop. It always has been, always will be.
Foveon doesn't need demosaicing, but it still needs color profiling and white balance. These are what make it algorithmic slop. Foveon is still subject to (((color science))) trickery and that is all algorithmic.
It is what it is, we can't avoid it.
Use color targets and embrace algoslop.
Make it work for you.
>>4296261ETTR is literally the standard for proper exposure.
It's not some trick, not some hack, you find the highlights you want to keep and get as close to blowing them but dial it back a bit to keep them.
ETTR is a modern psuedo-intelligent method for normies to think they're smart when it's just making more work for themselves in the name of "I know better" ideology, what exactly do you think the cameras themselves are doing?
They're just doing "ETTR" internally for metered points at least if set up properly.
ETTR = gathering the maximum samples without clipping
What complicates things is when you tell normies to ETTR they'll view a JPEG histogram of WB'd primaries and ETTR based off that, blowing a raw color channel or something trying to ETTR things they can't control.
Under balanced ~5600K lighting, the proper way to ETTR is with a filter to reduce the incoming green light so that you can properly deliver more photons to the red/blue photosites without blowing the greens.
