Open your povray.ini, which will be in your povray folder, in any text
editor then add at the end:
Display_Gamma=2.2

For example an extract from mine:
  Library_Path=C:\DOS\POVRAY
  Library_Path=C:\DOS\POVRAY\include
  Library_Path=C:\DOS\POVRAY\include\mine
  Display=on
  Display_Gamma=2.1
  +dgt

For most PC monitors gamma 2.2ish should be OK, but I don't know about
LCDs or Macs. Anyone else with a different monitor gamma, but using
"your" pov source should then see what you see.
Check "3.2.2.2   Display Output Options" in the docs.

Hope this helps
