Hmm, the chart (or actually the histogram) looks properly exposed when I
take the test image.
If only the white patch where blown I would understand it, but not only
the white patch but also the next grey patch is completely (RGB) blown.
If I look at the RGB values of the white patch in the app before I switch to
linear to generate the test tiff, where should it be? How close to 100% or 255?
