Ling Yi is red; Ling Er is green. I should write their names as Lingyi 
and Linger as those are their first names. I have not yet decided about

About gamma: I am not sure. If I reproduce your test, I see those parts 
of the scene that are in direct sunlight (Linger's skin and the corner 
stones wall mainly) that remain lighter longer.
