By the way, I really hope that you are *not* rendering my entries
with assumed_gamma 1 (as someone suggested) because they look just
plain *horrible* with that setting.

The way how I support my entries is that I post two text files as rules
describes and gives url inside description file with rendered image of my
entries to verify appearance of it. Some render times are long so preview
allows to avoid mistakes at begining.

Well,
i)    My philosophy is to go with the default settings on the program, as to
impress folks with the granduer possible with--cough-- 500 bytes...  If you
urgently need another gamma, shouldn't that be part of your code?  Your last
statement involved a bunch of +switches which are completely greek to me.
If a dull 3-year windows user cannot do it, a sharp windows newbie user--the
target audience to impress here-- might find it equally intimidating.
ii)   I never promised different tweakings for every different entry when
that discussion came up--- iirc I stated I was leaning against it.
iii)  Yours don't look that terrible.
iv)  I'll promise a week or two of extra recoding time for anyone seriously
injured by this.
v)   We can still talk about this....

  No. What I meant is that my entries look best with POV-Ray's default
settings. However, someone suggested that you would use assumed_gamma 1 when
rendering the entries. I tried it with mine and they looked horrible.
  It's just that I don't remember you writing clearly "no, I will *not* use
anything else than the default settings when rendering the entries" and so
I wasn't sure if you would do that or not.
