I am rendering the same scene file with what I believe are the same 
settings on POV-Ray for Windows 3.5 and POV-Ray for Macintosh 3.6, but 
the PNG file that I get on the Mac is slightly darker than the PNG file 
generated on Windows.

Both testscene.pov files have a

global_settings {
    assumed_gamma setting 1.0
}

block. On Windows, my povray.ini file is set to Display_Gamma=2.0. On 
Macintosh, I have a testscene.ini file in the same directory as my 
testscene.pov file, and it also has a Display_Gamma=2.0 entry. And yet 
the Mac file still comes out darker.

What am I doing wrong? I'd like to be able to use both computers to 
split up an animation job I'm working on, but I can't have one set of 
PNG files coming out darker than the other. Help! Thanks.
