Beating a dead horse here, but a comment on this point. Yes, POV, as it is, does
allow such "filters". What concerns me in what appears to be the direction of
the new release is that many of these techniques seem to be either deprecated or
made so complicated and cumbersome to impliment they are in effect impossible to
use. Especially "assumed_gamma" which I consider essential to the process but
which some here have described as a kind of cheap and quick artistic trick.
