[BUG] PVRTexTool 4.24 image viewer too dark

graptis commented 4 years ago

Description

PVRTexTool to 4.24 displays all images as too dark, as gamma correction is not applied to textures before being displayed.

Repro steps

Open a source format (jpg, png, etc) image, or a pvr image generated with 4.24 or later on the viewer. They appear darker than they actually are.

Environment

SDK version: R20.1
Operating System/Device: All

Additional Info

This appears to be an issue that was caused by 19.2 version incorrectly generating SRGB images even when they were supposed to be Linear, so the viewer was compensating by darkening the images. Since the texture encoding was fixed, images consistently appear darker.

Adding this issue here for tracking. A fix is implemented for 20.2 as the whole viewer is overhauled.

As mentioned in #59 the issue was fixed in the 20.2 release. I'm closing the issue as it refers to v4.24.
