RE: [Digital BW] GG 2.2 vs. DG 20 (Was Comparison: K3 versus Ultrachrome)

2005-11-22 by Paul Roark

I wanted to clarify something I posted earlier:
 
> In its Color Settings layout, Adobe PS Elements groups sRGB with GG 2.2;
> AdobeRGB is associated with Dot Gain 20%.

The grouping of Adobe RGB with Dot Gain 20% is apparently done because those
are the settings used commonly by the prepress industry, not because Adobe
RGB uses Dot Gain 20%.  

Both Adobe RGB and sRGB use a gamma of 2.2 because it is felt to more
closely approximate the human visual response.
