"No" what? You're not actually addressing the reason I gave why it
wouldn't work.

Wrong, all information about brightness levels exceeding a certain value
is typically lost when converting to the usual [0, 255] integer range (I
think that in this context it's better to explicitly mention that
integer range rather than use the more abstract [0, 1]). That lost
information is exactly what would have been needed for the effect.
