Slice the destination span to source length in `Vector4Converters.RgbaCompatible.FromVector4` so SIMD/scalar tails never process spare destination capacity. Expanded pixel-format tests to run across hardware intrinsic configurations, added dedicated RGB24/BGR24 bulk conversion coverage with sentinel checks for out-of-range writes, and relaxed associated-alpha half packing assertions to treat NaN payload differences as valid IEEE behavior.
Introduces `RgbaHalf` and `RgbaHalfP` plus bulk pixel-operation support, updates AOT seeding, and routes EXR decoding through the new scaled conversions. Also fixes scaled/native range handling for half, SNORM, and signed integer pixel formats, and expands tests for the new layouts and edge cases.
Introduce explicit associated/unassociated pixel conversion APIs across `IPixel` and `PixelOperations`, and rework associated-alpha operations to use representation-aware bulk hooks. Update pixel implementations, converters, blenders, and generated code to consistently apply `Premultiply`/`UnPremultiply` semantics, plus SIMD-backed conversion paths for half and signed formats.
Fix codec and processing behavior where alpha handling was incorrect or lossy (notably TIFF/EXR decode/encode, convolution/resize/filter/normalization/dithering paths), and add targeted tests for these cases. Expand AOT compiler roots (including EXR and additional pixel/processor coverage), add a new public API test project for pixel-operations extensibility, and add broad alpha-representation and quantization regression coverage.
Refactors `Color` to track both exposed and stored alpha representations, adds `ToScaledVector4(PixelAlphaRepresentation)`, and adjusts pixel conversion paths so associated formats preserve canonical values without unnecessary unpremultiply/reassociate loss. This also updates equality/hash behavior to compare canonical scaled values.
SIMD helpers are split into `MultiplyAddEstimate` vs `FusedMultiplyAdd`, with byte-to-float normalization updated to match scalar rounding exactly across vector widths. JPEG converters, resize kernels, and Porter-Duff/associated-alpha blending paths were updated to use the appropriate helper for either fast estimate or strict fused rounding semantics. Tests were expanded substantially (including exhaustive component/alpha cases and fused-order checks), incidental test cleanup was applied, benchmark comment snapshots were refreshed, and one black/white reference output image was updated.
Introduce Rgba32P, Bgra32P, Argb32P, Abgr32P, NormalizedByte4P, and HalfVector4P.
Add representation-aware scalar and bulk conversions, optimized pixel operations, and associated-alpha blending across all Porter-Duff modes. Include comprehensive conversion, layout, blending, and performance coverage.
KernelSamplingMap.CorrectBorder sliced the offset span by
radius * kernelSize, so bounds narrower than the kernel radius threw
ArgumentOutOfRangeException (GaussianBlur of a 130x8 region with
sigma 10, for example), and bounds exactly equal to the radius let
Bounce offsets escape the sampling range by folding an overshoot of a
full extent to min - 1.
Route bounds no larger than the radius through an exact per-mode
correction that folds each offset into range: clamp for Repeat,
periodic reflection for Mirror and Bounce, and true modulo for Wrap.
The single-pass corrections are unchanged for larger bounds.
