Dual boot! Dual boot!
Anyway, the page mentions:
For information about how to check out and compile the lastest version pleae
see the notes.

Should be no gamma at all.

Just try it. Render a two pass scene with two light sources with
assumed_gamma and do a composite. Then render both sources on
with assumed_gamma. The resulting images are not identical.

I wonder how you choose that values, starting with settings from
rad_def.inc (in Povray 3.5) should usually lead to agreeable results, both
in quality and speed.
In detail:
- recursion_limit 10 must be incredibly slow.
- brightness 2 is exaggerated although it might serve some artistic
purpose.

And how can radiance calculations be correct, if you don't have
lit/unlit areas ? That's the whole concept behind "global
illumination", taking account of all interactions...

BTW, is the kitchen already built, or is that a project ?
If it's a project, there's some ergonomic faults to correct...

It's not about purism, it's about getting right result.
For example, the light passing trough the window blinds should "burn"
on the wall, and (through radiance) lighten the surfaces surrounding
the light spot.

Some "exposure" filtering would be good, in the future, though.

I had thought that Photoshop's "Lighten" mode did addition. Am I wrong
about that?
I tried to duplicate Jack's image from the three layers (using the
"lighten" mode for the light source layer); without gamma
correction it's very dark but it becomes better after gamma correction.

It is a kitchen to be built, but like I said the rendering is a WIP. There
should be a window in the obvious empty space on the wall--nothing I can do
about placing cabinets over that. With that in mind, what do you suggest? I
would love to do something better with the kitchen, but unfortunately the 2
windows (one that is casting the sunlight shadow and the one that I haven't
placed in the scene yet) cut up my wall space.

They are not correct, which is a downside of rendering in layers--parts of
the illumination have to be faked, requiring more artist time. The advantage
is that rendering time is MUCH less. I guess you have to find the right
balance between these two.
