That's 0.9366 in total, which means that at each radiosity recursion
step, 93.66% of the light is /not/ absorbed.

Which means that after 20 recursion steps, 26.98% of the light is
/still/ not absorbed.

Don't use `rgbt` nor `rgbf`, unless your similated leaves are supposed
to transmit a portion of the light unscattered.

Are you using File_Gamma=2.2, or why is that exponent in there?
