when saving, rather we flip the compressed texture during load. The code used
here comes from the chromium O3D project:
http://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/o3d/core/cross/bitmap_dds.cc
Also made it only load compressed for power-of-two resolution images, it doesn't
seem to work for other resolutions, just falls back to non-compressed then.
after adding compressed DDS texture loading.
DDS images can be flipped compared to the Blender standard, however we do not
unflip them because we also don't flip compressed textures. If we would flip
those we'd need to uncompress, flip and recompress them, and so losing the
speed benefit that you get from using them. Users are expected to save DDS
image in OpenGL compatible format.
Replace old color pipeline which was supporting linear/sRGB color spaces
only with OpenColorIO-based pipeline.
This introduces two configurable color spaces:
- Input color space for images and movie clips. This space is used to convert
images/movies from color space in which file is saved to Blender's linear
space (for float images, byte images are not internally converted, only input
space is stored for such images and used later).
This setting could be found in image/clip data block settings.
- Display color space which defines space in which particular display is working.
This settings could be found in scene's Color Management panel.
When render result is being displayed on the screen, apart from converting image
to display space, some additional conversions could happen.
This conversions are:
- View, which defines tone curve applying before display transformation.
These are different ways to view the image on the same display device.
For example it could be used to emulate film view on sRGB display.
- Exposure affects on image exposure before tone map is applied.
- Gamma is post-display gamma correction, could be used to match particular
display gamma.
- RGB curves are user-defined curves which are applying before display
transformation, could be used for different purposes.
All this settings by default are only applying on render result and does not
affect on other images. If some particular image needs to be affected by this
transformation, "View as Render" setting of image data block should be set to
truth. Movie clips are always affected by all display transformations.
This commit also introduces configurable color space in which sequencer is
working. This setting could be found in scene's Color Management panel and
it should be used if such stuff as grading needs to be done in color space
different from sRGB (i.e. when Film view on sRGB display is use, using VD16
space as sequencer's internal space would make grading working in space
which is close to the space using for display).
Some technical notes:
- Image buffer's float buffer is now always in linear space, even if it was
created from 16bit byte images.
- Space of byte buffer is stored in image buffer's rect_colorspace property.
- Profile of image buffer was removed since it's not longer meaningful.
- OpenGL and GLSL is supposed to always work in sRGB space. It is possible
to support other spaces, but it's quite large project which isn't so
much important.
- Legacy Color Management option disabled is emulated by using None display.
It could have some regressions, but there's no clear way to avoid them.
- If OpenColorIO is disabled on build time, it should make blender behaving
in the same way as previous release with color management enabled.

Thanks to Xavier Thomas, Lukas Toene for initial work on OpenColorIO
integration and to Brecht van Lommel for some further development and code/
usecase review!
One important thing to keep in mind when using this feature is that you'll need to flip your textures vertically (both the GIMP and Photoshop DDS tools I've seen have support for this on export). This is a quirk in using a texture format originally made for DirectX/DirectDraw, and flipping the compressed data is a real headache. Another quick fix for this issue is to change the Y value for the Size in the Mapping panel in the Texture properties to -1 (default is 1).

DXT1 .dds textures with 1-bit alpha channel have their alpha channel imported in Blender.
The patch also makes change to contact info for the patch submitter.
I left the sync with upstream nvtt for another commit.
- removed deprecated bitmap arg from IMB_allocImBuf (plugins will need updating).
- mostly tagged UNUSED() since some of these functions look like they may need to have the arguments used later.
tile cache code in imbuf, but it is not hooked up to the render engine.
Imbuf module: some small refactoring and removing a lot of unused or old code
(about 6.5k lines).
* Added a ImFileType struct with callbacks to make adding an file format type,
or making changes to the API easier.
* Move imbuf init/exit code into IMB_init()/IMB_exit() functions.
* Increased mipmap levels from 10 to 20, you run into this limit already with
a 2k image.
* Removed hamx, amiga, anim5 format support.
* Removed colormap saving, only simple colormap code now for reading tga.
* Removed gen_dynlibtiff.py, editing this is almost as much work as just
editing the code directly.
* Functions removed that were only used for sequencer plugin API:
IMB_anim_nextpic, IMB_clever_double, IMB_antialias, IMB_gamwarp,
IMB_scalefieldImBuf, IMB_scalefastfieldImBuf, IMB_onethird, IMB_halflace,
IMB_dit0, IMB_dit2, IMB_cspace
* Write metadata info into OpenEXR images. Can be viewed with the command
line utility 'exrheader'
For the image tile cache code, see this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Imaging/ImageTileCache
* .tif not loading on newer linux distributions, wasn't looking for
libtiff version 4.
* fix dds being too verbose when testing if it can open an image file.
Now it's a bit more robust, tagging images with profiles when they're loaded,
which then get interpreted later on by conversion functions. Just Linear RGB
and sRGB profiles at the moment, same as before.
This commit fixes Martin's problem with EXRs and Multilayer images loading/
saving too dark, and it also makes the sequence editor work correctly with it too.
Also fixes:
[#19647] gamma correction with color management is reset when resetting Curve
[#19454] 2.5: Dither does not work when Color management is enabled
[#15135] imbuf DDS support: sync to nvidia texture tools revision 602 + fix for ATI2 compressed normal maps
It just updates the dds stuff.
