Thank you Warp and Ive. Let me try to be a bit more explicit. It boils 
down to the need of having a real srgb color picker, as was already 
discussed/wished in these ng's some time ago. All color pickers (like 
Sven's for instance) that I know of use (linear) rgb as far as I am aware.

As a user of Poser and Poseray, I often like to tone the skin of the 
human figures. The latest Poseray version does this nicely with some 
added macros where you just have to put in the tone's srgb values. 
However, that is where my problem arises: I can define those tones in my 
ancient PSP or in the latest Gimp, but those give the values in linear 
space. So, to get the result I want I have to correct the Poseray output 
just by changing 'srgb' into 'rgb' where necessary. If not, the result 
is way to dark in general. This works but is a bit fastidious. Better 
would be to have the 'real' srgb values of the tones from start. I hope 
I made myself clear...
