Actually his technique didn't emulate the response of film at all. It
*was* a type of compression, but not a very good replication of film
response. Of course, he never claimed that was his goal.

Personally, I've always wanted POV to behave more like real-world
cameras and film. It makes merging images created by the two systems
much easier, and most people would think the realism of POV was
greater, if it looked "just like film."
