There once was a man named Jim
My verbosity was getting to him
So instead of Wikipedia
I rendered some media {}
And sent a pretty picture to him

Don't take this as the final answer, but what I THINK Kenneth found is where it
says

"These linear RGB values are not the final result; gamma correction must still
be applied. The following formula transforms the linear values into sRGB:"

and then immediately following those formulae

The reverse transformation
"Again the sRGB component values Rsrgb, Gsrgb, Bsrgb are in the range 0 to 1.
(Values in the range of 0 to 255 can simply be divided by 255.0)."

should be reversed.


But I haven't re-wrapped my head around the whole gamma thing _again_....
