Linear light refers to a method of representing and processing light intensity in a way that is directly proportional to the number of photons, without gamma correction or any non-linear adjustments. This approach maintains the true mathematical relationships of light interactions, which is crucial in fields like computer graphics and image processing to ensure accurate color blending and realistic rendering. Linear light representation often requires conversion from standard display-referred color spaces, which are typically gamma-corrected, to linear space for precise computations.
