[Bf-committers] bump mapping - white is down & black is up???

[Tobias Oelgarte]

Same thought on my side. White is a high value. Why making a peak am 
hole? Don't know any software that uses black for the tips of anything. 
Gimp uses white as peaks for bump mapping and any other known graphic 
software too. Even SVG-(Filters) define white as a high spot. At least 
it is the default for many programs.
