Notes

  1. 1.

    Some more advanced image formats do support decimal (float-precision) pixels. But they are rare, and they must use finite-precision computer math anyway.

  2. 2.

    If you are in medicine, I suppose you have one? What, not even a wine cellar? OK, OK, a bottle of Bud at your friend’s party :)
