No assumed_gamma, no gamma correction.

assumed_gamma 1, the display gamma is used to correct the image, it will 
display correctly on the machine it was rendered on if Display_Gamma was 
set correctly.

Other assumed_gamma values are mainly useful for scenes designed without 
gamma correction. You should use assumed_gamma 1 for new scenes, adjust 
the display gamma if you are rendering to display elsewhere.
