not only does wikipedia have articles for both of the above, but both
links go directly to the respective pages.

They do now for me, but they didn't several hours ago.

user error.

You love jumping to conclusions. Wikipedia is doing it again and
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxpbce5epy...pture.JPG?dl=0 is a screen
clip of the message it displays. You can take your pick of possible
explanations.

you did something wrong or your ****ty newsreader is once again not
handling links correctly.

in other words, user error.

You ar very good at jumping to conclusions.

no jump needed. nothing at wikipedia changed. the issue is entirely at
your end.

in addition to descriptions, wikipedia also lists several additional
algorithms and other references:

...

If you had read my original post you would know that I do not want
algorithms.

i did and you did.

Among other things I wrote "This doesn't mean that I want to know the
actual code but I would like to know what the code is doing."

I suppose you could that interpret that as a request for an algorithm
but I actually intended reference to something higher up the chain
than an algorithm.

what goes on inside photoshop, what the code is doing, *are* the
algorithms.

the code is merely instructions to execute a given algorithm.

I want a description of the model which the various algorithms will be
processing.

that depends on the algorithms.

You have it back to front: the algorithm depends upon the model.

as i said, it's a start, and now you know what to look for when
searching for books or other materials.

I neither need nor want to dig into the details of the algorithms.

then why did you ask?
