The difference between two images can be non-lossy, if you like.

> partially-transparent or glossy surfaces.

It's all just RGB values; there is no gloss or transparency in an image. (Image layers can have transparency for compositing, but that's obviously something else.)

Many areas of a stereo image are nearly identical, like the distant background.
