Todd, I think that if he uses a 2.2 workspace, he would need to calibrate
his monitor to 2.2 as well.  Also, as I understand it, by placing the VM
curve at the top, you would eliminate the need to set the blend mode to
luminosity?

Don't worry about the Mac "being" gamma 1.8, to my understanding that's more
convention than anything in the hardware, and even the convention has
changed. Many highend prepress people, retouchers etc, use AdobeRGB, which
is gamma 2.2 and even calibrate their monitors to 6500K, gamma 2.2.


If you want to be a purist, just make a separate adjustment layer for this
gamma tweak and set it's blend mode to luminosity. That keeps the colors
from being effected. I always make sure that Paul's VM curves are at the
topmost layer in the stack, which helps too.
