Missing "link" for pixel creation in the camera.

Someone posted a link a while back that showed all the formulas and calculations used to create a digital image in the camera, pixel by pixel. I would like to show it to a photographer friend of mine. We are both retired computer programmers and you know how we like to compute those results fast.

If I am not mistaken the pixels in the camra are fixed by your sensor in the camra. You change the the pixels in your picture with post production software, like gimp or PSP.

Thanks Guy for the response(the only one). This link explained the process (calculations & formulas) the camera executed on each and every pixel to record the image. I know computer chips get faster every time you turn around but it was pretty fascinating that each individual pixel went through this process at the click of a button.

I have been watching to see if anyone has the answer to your questions. I tried to do a search but didn't come up with any thing.

Thanks Country Mama! I was online for 4 hours straight trying to find it yesterday but no luck. IF my 'little' memory serves me right I think that post went something like
"Here is what happens when you push that button".
Thanks again, Virigil
