Clamping results to valid range

Why don't operations like gegl:add and gegl:multiply clamp the resulting values between 0.0 and 1.0? Won't this potentially result in garbage rgb values?

Thanks,
Nanley

The RGB values used by GEGL are not bounded by the gamut of a color space. Out of gamut values are not garbage, but can occur both as intermediate/temporary values - in operations like unsharp mask, as well as for HDR[1] and if the RGB data originates in a color space with a larger gamut than the one currently used.

If any operation, or an application like GIMP, requests the data with an 8bit or 16bit representation the data is clamped then.
