TODO: reference this issue on the contributing page instead of inlining the links
@stuxcrystal Sorry I left you out of the conversation I had with Fichte. I was pretty sure I wasn't using github correctly and Fichte let me know that my master branch was a "mess". That's why I didn't want to make a PR yet. Slowly fixing it now after uni.
Some things not on YukiSubs' page.

Found an excellent introduction to color spaces: https://ciechanow.ski/color-spaces/ A bunch of very informative articles on resampling: https://entropymine.com/imageworsener/ Nice visual explanation of common dithering algos: http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca/study/1 + http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca/study/2 + http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca/study/3 + http://caca.zoy.org/wiki/libcaca/study/4 Good resource for Fourier transforms: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fourier/ General overview of digital video: https://github.com/leandromoreira/digital_video_introduction
If anyone wants to work on a Blender motion-tracking example with the new 2.80 update, I’ve updated the export script to work with 2.80.x.
Why anything higher than 16/48 audio is moronic: https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html
Very extensive discussion of display colorimetry and artifacting: http://www.displaymate.com/ShootOut_Part_1.htm (read all 4 parts) Maybe not a must-read, but highly interesting nonetheless.
pretty much the only exhaustive resource on Gamma-compression I’ve found so far that isn’t rife with misinformation and inaccuracies :wow: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Perceptual-uniformity-in-digital-image-and-display-Poynton-Funt/9a86b2863e0872d405dc69dd0b96621d82be088f this stuff is rather advanced, though, and probably not a must read to make passable encodes of anime tiddies, so maybe group this one, the last one, the color spaces one and perhaps the dithering ones under a seperate “Color” subsection? 🤔 (I might spam some more links as I sift through resources on HDR, 90 % of which incidentally are also crap :notlikemiya:)
Here's a really cool video by Tom Scott about banding that I believe we should embed somewhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9j89L8eQQk
