Hi,

I'm using a shader with a texture which is the output of a [pix_contrast].

On Mac (and only on Mac) with values of contrast > 1 for pix_contrast, the black pixels have slightly negative r/g/b component values!! I don't know how that is even possible!!!

That is, in the fragment shader:

//... uniform sampler2DRect mytex; //... float x=gl_TexCoord[0].s; float y=gl_TexCoolr[0].t vec txcolor=texture2DRect(mytex,vec2(x,y)) //...

The red, green and blue components of txcolor turn out to be (small) negative numbers for the pixels that are supposed to be black.

I can test it in a number of ways, for example:

gl_FragColor=vec4(abs(txcolor.r),txcolor.r,txcolor.r);

This should only produce grey pixels, but instead, the should-be-black pixels are of a dark red, because the red component of the original image is slightly negative.

How is it even possible that a texture has negative components? Is there a bug in pix_contrast on Mac? But even if there is, I cannot understand how a negative rgb component value can even get through to the shader program...

Has anybody ever experienced this before?

thanks m.
