Eye Sensitivity

The eye has a non-linear response to color and there are several different algorithms to calculate an intensity based on this non-linear relationship.  Here are two of which the first is employed in this program. Y is the intensity R is red G is green and B is blue.

Y = .2126R + .7152G + .0722B (Intensity from color phosphor Rec. 709)
Y = .49R  + .86G  + .28B   (From Photoshop K)
