unifying:
    - [[Clipper (electronics)]]
    - [[Clipping (audio)]]
    - [[Clipping (photography)]]
    - [[Soft clipping]]

- on [[Talk:Clipping (audio)]], note that I agree (signal processing) is better, it mirrors [[Sampling (signal processing)]], and that I've tried the unify the disparate information

- redirect [[Soft clipping]] to [[Clipping (signal processing)]], since it's pretty much merged in



- [[Rectifier#Half-wave rectification]] and [[Image:Halfwave.rectifier.en.png]] are also relevant










www.flw.com/define_c.htm
The term applied to the phenomenon which occurs when an output signal is limited in some way by the full range of an amplifier, ADC or other device. When this occurs, the signal is flattened at the peak values, the signal approaches the shape of a square wave, and high frequency components are introduced. Clipping may be hard, as is the case when the signal is strictly limited at some level; or it may be soft, in which case the clipping signal continues to follow the input at some reduced gain.

A result of over saturation (too bright) or under saturation (to dark) in an image. If the video image contains grayscale values outside the image processor's upper and lower limits for the grayscale range, pixels exceeding the limits are set to the highest or lowest values possible.


create to try to unify/merge parts of [[Clipping (audio)]], [[Clipping (photography)]], [[Soft clipping]], and [[Clipper (electronics)]}


[[Clipping (audio)]]+[[Clipping (photography)]]+[[Soft clipping]]+[[Clipper (electronics)]]=[[Clipping (signal processing)]], they could all merge, or not
