Hi All

I've got round to doing another image, and as always inspired by 
other posts on this newsgroup.

It's a chess set built to accomodate blind and partially sighted people. 

On my gallery page there's a detailed description of the scene, an 800x600
version plus the source code, all hand coded CSG.

What is wrong with the image gamma?
I did a "stretch contrast" on it in the GIMP and it looked a LOT better.

It works perfectly. My guess is that you have previously designed
scenes to be viewed directly through a monitor and it's distortions.
You have built the scenes so that they cancel the distortions applied
by the monitor.

When povray does the gamma correction (assumed_gamma 1) the scenes
no longer have to be designed to cancel the monitor's distortions.

Not my image, his, the one posted here.
No full shadow or highlight values.
Look at it as a histogram.

I see a more detailed description of the situation is required. Someone
says the image lacks contrast. I see Steve's gallery and the source file
and based on this information I say he has chosen not to put more contrast
in the image. That's it. There is no more explicit or implicit information
in that statement. Really. Thats all. You have imagined things.
