# VkResolveImageInfo2(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkResolveImageInfo2 - Structure specifying parameters of resolve image command

## C Specification

The `VkResolveImageInfo2` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_3
    typedef struct VkResolveImageInfo2 {
        VkStructureType           sType;
        const void*               pNext;
        VkImage                   srcImage;
        VkImageLayout             srcImageLayout;
        VkImage                   dstImage;
        VkImageLayout             dstImageLayout;
        uint32_t                  regionCount;
        const VkImageResolve2*    pRegions;
    } VkResolveImageInfo2;

    // Provided by VK_KHR_copy_commands2
    // Equivalent to VkResolveImageInfo2
    typedef VkResolveImageInfo2 VkResolveImageInfo2KHR;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `srcImage` is the source image.

- `srcImageLayout` is the layout of the source image subresources for the resolve.

- `dstImage` is the destination image.

- `dstImageLayout` is the layout of the destination image subresources for the resolve.

- `regionCount` is the number of regions to resolve.

- `pRegions` is a pointer to an array of VkImageResolve2 structures specifying the regions to resolve.

## Description

If the source format is a floating-point or normalized type, the resolve mode is chosen as implementation-dependent behavior, unless VkResolveImageModeInfoKHR is included in the `pNext` chain, in which case it is defined by VkResolveImageModeInfoKHR::`resolveMode`. If the resolve mode requires to calculate the result from multiple samples, such as by computing an average or weighted average of the samples, the values for each pixel are resolved with implementation-defined numerical precision.

If the numeric format of `srcImage` uses sRGB encoding and the resolve mode requires the implementation to convert the samples to floating-point to perform the calculations, the implementation should convert samples from nonlinear to linear before resolving the samples as described in the “sRGB EOTF” section of the Khronos Data Format Specification. In this case, the implementation must convert the linear averaged value to nonlinear before writing the resolved result to `dstImage`. If the `maintenance10` feature is enabled, whether a nonlinear to linear conversion happens for sRGB encoded resolve is controlled by `resolveSrgbFormatAppliesTransferFunction`. If VkResolveImageModeInfoKHR is included in the `pNext` chain, this default behavior can be overridden with VK_RESOLVE_IMAGE_SKIP_TRANSFER_FUNCTION_BIT_KHR or VK_RESOLVE_IMAGE_ENABLE_TRANSFER_FUNCTION_BIT_KHR flags.

If the source format is an integer type, a single sample’s value is selected for each pixel, unless VkResolveImageModeInfoKHR is included in the `pNext` chain, in which case it is defined by VkResolveImageModeInfoKHR::`resolveMode` or VkResolveImageModeInfoKHR::`stencilResolveMode` depending on which aspect is being resolved.
