That would make an *excellent* set of tools, covering every possible scenario
AFAIK. Kudos for the concept! Not that I would want to continue indefinitely
with the *old way* of doing things re: gamma--but it sure makes 'the paradigm
change' easier to swallow ;-)

Not unexpected. There was always a hidden caveat anyway, when using png input
images in v.3.6.1 (with assumed_gamma 2.2)--the only good way to get them to
reproduce *as expected* was to embed a gamma of 1.0 into them, via Photoshop or
some such. (At least, that was my own experience, using my *legacy* version of
Photoshop 5.0.)
