 To **convert** the stored **numerical values** back to **light intensity**, an **exponent** of **2.2** must be applied. Notice that a **linear color space** can be seen as a non-linear space where the exponent **gamma is 1.0**. To **convert** the stored **numerical values** back to **light intensity**, an **exponent** of **2.2** must be applied.

-So the **sRGG** (non linear) color space is widely used; that model is often called **perceptual gamma**. But if you work with high quality images (**16 bits per channel**) and if you want to **apply filters** that work on light and shadow, you should use a linear (RBG) workspace. The **GIMP 2.10** program internally uses linear channels data when higher than 8-bit per channel precision is used.+So the **sRGB** (non linear) color space is widely used; that model is often called **perceptual gamma**.
