Colorspace

Resizer from this crate does not convert image into linear colorspace during resize process. If it is important for you to resize images with a non-linear color space (e.g. sRGB) correctly, then you have to convert it to a linear color space before resizing and convert back to the color space of result image. Read more about resizing with respect to color space.

This crate provides the PixelComponentMapper structure that allows you to create colorspace converters for images whose pixels based on u8 and u16 components.

In addition, the crate contains functions create_gamma_22_mapper() and create_srgb_mapper() to create instance of PixelComponentMapper that converts images from sRGB or gamma 2.2 into linear colorspace and back.
