For premultiplied alpha images, this makes any color space conversion for the image
or render output work on color without alpha multiplied in.
This is typically useful to avoid fringing when the image was or will be composited
over a light background. If the image will be composited over a black background on
the other hand, leaving this option off will give correct results.
In an ideal world, there should never be any color space conversion on images with
alpha, since it's undefined what to do then, but in practice it's useful to have
this option.
Patch by Troy Sobotka, with changes by me.
byte => float, float => float, byte => byte conversions with profile, dither
and predivide. Previously code for this was spread out too much.
There should be no functional changes, this is so the predivide/table/dither
patches can work correctly.
Now, compositing, shading and texture nodes have a consistent muting system, with default behaving as previous (for compo), and which can be optionaly customized by each node.
Shader nodes are also GLSL muted.
However, Cycles is currently unaware of muted nodes, will try to address this…
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
