The patch simulates decrease of reactive chemicals in film
emulsion during exposure. The areas that have received more
light react less than other areas. Usefull for high contrast
scenes as it brings up the dark areas and limit bright areas.

I have combined aperture, film speed, and exposure time into
one exposure variable which goes into global_settings. The images
show the difference between normal and exposed image. I'll test
it some more to see if it works nicely with anti-aliasing and
focal blur.

Very interesting and useful patch. Looks great.
Waiting to see more examples

That sounds great. What about digi-cams? Are they inferior in this field?

Heh, I made a patch just similar to yours a couple months ago... My first 
Povray modification :) You're using the 1-exp(-x) function, right?

And you kept in the desk drawer?

It seems to be the simplest usable function for this purpose.

It seems that camera manufacturers aren't forthcoming about
the on-board image processing features. One transfer curve
I saw was definitely film-like which is kind of natural :)

I was quite fond of it and was of course going to publish it here, but then 
Kevin Loney came up with his own patch just before I was about to do so.

His patch was going in different direction so I decided to make
this one.

Not really sure what you are asking...the CCD will have a different 
response curve than film or the human eye. Some of them might do 
filtering to end up with something closer to film, or just something 
that looks better. The design of the CCD element probably matters as 
well.
They can't really be inferior or superior to POV, since they have quite 
different information. POV has essentially unbounded float triples with 
the "real" light intensities, cameras have fixed point values with the 
raw output of CCD elements, restricted to a certain range.
