Hi Stephen,

First off, thanks for liking my stuff. As I said to Kenneth I tinker alot and it
is sometimes difficult for me to let go of something.

The gamma question is interesting, because I tried what you said and for me the
images went darker and lost colour. My screens are all from dell, of varying
ages, and the images are fine on all of them (varying light conditions).

I tend to render with gamma 2.2, but that is not hard and fast, especially when
using brighter lights, and some of the images were colour corrected afterwards
anyway. From looking at other conversations here concerning gamma, I get the
impression that it is a contentious issue. (And I didn't know that 3.7.1 was in
the works - excellent news).

Cheers,

Simon.
