+/* This uses the same tonemapping algorithm developed by Google for Chrome:

+ *
+ * Essentially, you use the source headroom and the destination headroom
+ * to calculate scaling factors:
+ *  tonemap_a = (dst_headroom / (src_headroom * src_headroom));
+ *  tonemap_b = (1.0f / dst_headroom);
+ *
+ * Then you normalize your source color by the HDR whitepoint,
+ * and calculate a final scaling factor in BT.2020 colorspace.
