[webkit-dev] Reflecting pixel delta "distance" in ImageDiff

[Tony Payne]

I would like to change chromium's ImageDiff to reflect the magnitude of
pixel changes. Currently, if the pixel has any difference, the entire pixel
is marked as 100% red. I'd like to change it so that miniscule difference
are 20% red and large differences are 100% red. Looking at the code for CG,
gtk and Win versions of ImageDiff, I think they already do something
similar. Is this correct?

Would anyone be opposed to such a change? See the attached image for an
example of how this could assist in debugging regressions. It would
certainly be enormously useful in my color management efforts.

Thanks,
Tony
