My understanding of color theory and implementation of color
management is admittedly limited, but I don't think that statement is
entirely true. I realize that in 16 bits quantization errors are not
really an issue for any commonly used color space, but display on my
screen definitely changes when I use gamma 1.8 vs gamma 2.2, even when
looking at color managed images in Photoshop or Lightroom. It
certainly changes non-color managed portions of the display, so
perhaps my perception of what is light and dark inside a color managed
application is affected by that. In any case, I always felt that
shadows are blocked in 2.2 and that everything is too light in 1.8, so
I was hoping L-star would help with that.
