# Appendix B. Compressed Image Formats

The compressed texture formats used by Vulkan are described in the specifically identified sections of the [Khronos Data Format Specification], version 1.1.

Unless otherwise described, the quantities encoded in these compressed formats are treated as normalized, unsigned values.

Those formats listed as sRGB-encoded have in-memory representations of R, G and B components which are nonlinearly-encoded as $R'$ , $G'$ , and $B'$ ; any alpha component is unchanged. As part of filtering, the nonlinear $R'$ , $G'$ , and $B'$ values are converted to linear R, G, and B components; any alpha component is unchanged. The conversion between linear and nonlinear encoding is performed as described in the “KHR_DF_TRANSFER_SRGB” section of the Khronos Data Format Specification.
