3DSr3 computes all color in 48-bit space, plus 16-bits of alpha (=64).
Then, the colorspace is transformed by the gamma-correction curve.
Finally, after THAT, colorspace is samples down to 24-bits plus 8
alpha (= traditional 32). This technique eliminates the quantization
artifacts (banding, etc.) that are created by computing color in
24-bit space and doing gamma correction at that color res.
