If you set both display and assumed gamma to 1.0, POV-Ray does not make any
gamma correction to images. It means that final image pixel rgb values are
values you use. To gamma correct image, put your monitor gamma to display
gamma. This is needed to correct your image brightness because monitors
show lower intensities too dark.
