[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Sepia improve by being done in YUV

Thanks for the ping and sorry for late answer.

Well, I considered this, but in the matter of speed, this solution is a lot
faster, because it doesn't have to count the values for U and V channels,
as these are constant. However, it's really messy and I think, it can be
cleaned up, not speaking about possibility of SIMD speeding up.

The formula I used is mentioned in comments above calculations. There are
no references, as I managed to invent it myself, based on the pieces of
information I found around the web (and mainly on your work). I didn't
achieve the same result, as I thought it would be better, if user was
allowed to change strenght of the effect directly from B&W scale.

And to the intensity, you are right, higher values are better... maybe
those 130... I'll see I'll do anything about it next time, or somebody  
else.
