例えば
pixel.alpha = in[0].alpha;
pixel.red = in[0].red / 2;
pixel.green = in[0].green / 2;
pixel.blue = in[0].blue / 2;
out[0] = pixel;
と
red = 0xFF & (in[0] >> 16);
green = 0xFF & (in[0] >> 8);
blue = 0xFF & in[0];
red /= 2;
green /= 2;
blue /= 2;
pixel = 0xFF000000 & in[0];
pixel |= red << 16;
pixel |= green << 8;
pixel |= blue;
out[0] = pixel;
ではだいぶ見やすさが違うような
