Re: [Digital BW] gamma setting

2002-10-06 by Robert Morrison

That is the standard recommendation for macintosh systems.  Gamma 2.2 for PC
systems.  Every reference on color management that I've seen has suggested
the same.  The actual grayspace that you tag to the file is technically up
to you...but I find that I like gamma 2.2 the best.
