Hello Clipka and Alain,
If two povman have the same problem, may be they are a problem somewhere in the
beta 37?
I use this ini file:

 With file gamma AND (so both) Display gamma values 0.98, 1.0, 2.0 and 2.2,  the
picture in the povray window and the picture in the file is not the same for
povray 3.7 beta 37 but it was OK with the previous version. My input files are
all the same, but with beta 37 the gamma is not the same. It's to much time ago
that I don't use v3.6. But finally, may be I will return back to v 3.6 because
the time need for rendering picture is the same with v3.7 beta 37 so why to use
full charge of the CPU for the same result and time consuming.

- So how to obtain the same gamma settings in the povray render windows and file
and which file format you recommand for povray 3.7 beta 37 windows XP, Vista and
7.
- If it is possible to find the previous version somewhere?

many thanks for your advices,

best regards,


JJ
