Except that now I'm confused and can't remember *which* eye-squinting 
instructions I'm supposed to follow...

Is there no tool where I can just click a button and say, "Fix my gamma!"?

Good to know, guess I messed things up when wrapping OS specific 
functionality (like directory monitoring) to prepare for a future 
cross-platform GUI. IC is in fact just the graphical front-end for a 
professional image processing library and as such basically just a hobby 
of mine and I have quite limited time for testing it. So I'm quite 
thankful for all feedback from users, especially about things that do 
not work as expected.

I *think* there was once a dither option for color palette based image 
file formats like GIF ;)

I wish there was. However, as far as POV-Ray is concerned, the next beta 
should provide proper gamma handling almost "out of the box".

Following this test, to all who find my images washed out, I am glad to say 
that my hardware and software are properly calibrated  :-)

Thanks Cristoph.

Thomas
