cl_khr_srgb_image_writes

Extension adds support writing to sRGB images from a kernel.

#pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_khr_srgb_image_writes : enable

Description

Additions to section 5.8.1 –Creating Program Objects:

The built-in image read functions will perform sRGB to linear RGB conversions if the image is an sRGB image. Writing to sRGB images from a kernel is an optional extension. The cl_khr_srgb_image_writes extension will be reported in the CL_DEVICE_EXTENSIONS string if a device supports writing to sRGB images using write_imagef. clGetSupportedImageFormats will return the supported sRGB images if CL_MEM_READ_WRITE or CL_MEM_WRITE_ONLY is specified in flags argument and the device supports writing to an sRGB image. If cl_khr_srgb_image_writes is supported, the built-in image write functions will perform the linear to sRGB conversion.

Only the R, G and B components are converted from linear to sRGB and vice-versa. The alpha component is returned as is.
