7= Compressed Image Formats
8
9The compressed texture formats used by Vulkan are described in the
10specifically identified sections of the <<data-format,Khronos Data Format
11Specification>>, version 1.3.
12
13Unless otherwise described, the quantities encoded in these compressed
14formats are treated as normalized, unsigned values.
15
16Those formats listed as sRGB-encoded have in-memory representations of
17[eq]#R#, [eq]#G# and [eq]#B# components which are nonlinearly-encoded as
18[eq]#R'#, [eq]#G'#, and [eq]#B'#; any alpha component is unchanged.
19As part of filtering, the nonlinear [eq]#R'#, [eq]#G'#, and [eq]#B'# values
20are converted to linear [eq]#R#, [eq]#G#, and [eq]#B# components; any alpha
21component is unchanged.
22The conversion between linear and nonlinear encoding is performed as
23described in the "`KHR_DF_TRANSFER_SRGB`" section of the Khronos Data Format
24Specification.
