It's probably something I'm doing wrong - I get an error message about gamma
settings every time I render a scene. One of these days I'll have to figure out
the new settings... I've also noticed that sometimes when I select a POV-Ray
v3.7 generated .png image as a desktop wallpaper for Windows XP the little
preview shows a really washed-out looking image, but then the actual desktop
image looks right.
