This is the story of decoupling the two, bridging them with a 24-bit trick that costs almost nothing, and compressing color in blocks small enough to edit one at a time.

This is how the whole edit pipeline moves onto the GPU, and why a hash table that thousands of threads write at once is the hard part.
