Here's what I did to import my photos...


global_settings {
// assumed_gamma 1.0
}

light_source {
 0*x
 color rgb <1,1,1>*1.5
 parallel
 point_at <0, 0, 1>
 translate <0, 0, -1>
}

I did nothing else with lighting... not even adjust the "diffuse".  I played 
with "assumed_gamma" but decided not to use it.  A few tests showed that the 
rendered image looked exactly like the photo.
