Like this?
(It seems that photons coming from the area light and reflecting from the

And no, I have no idea why the light source is not oversaturated anymore;
I didn't do anything to it; I have the feeling that POV-Ray still has some
problems of radiosity being different from render to render...)

Is there still no other program than full version of Photoshop that can
do it? If so, is the algorithm how difficult or un-known or patented? If
the algorithm is available somewhere, it shouldn't be very difficult to
write a little app to do that compression.

All that is required is interactive transfer curve editor
for 48 bit images with real time gamma correction. That's
the whole "algorithm". There are some more features that
would make it more user friendly, the most important being
optional log-log display of the curve.

While solving this one you introduced another problem.
It's not realistic anymore :)

I have never noticed this but there still seems to be some
problems with scale and directional bias.

Isn't that quite subjective?
What makes it so unrealistic in your opinion?

I ment it's not a simulation anymore when parameters
are bent at will. The image can _look_ realistic even
if it's not a realistic simulation :)

I believe Gilles too has employed this trick with great success.
You know, as long as the image looks good...

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Corel PhotoPaint is free for Linux
from corel.com...
