Not necessarily true. Some will claim is doesn't matter (... leastwise, you'll not perceive differences), and some would claim you should set your gamma equal to your preferred working space. I personally try to set the calibrated gamma (either 1.8 or 2.2) as close as possible to the monitor's native (uncalibrated/uncompensated) gamma. For example, for your own information you should determine your monitor's "factory" characteristics while displaying an image, similar to below, while it's still uncalibrated. What you have been told wouldn't hold water if it were closer to 2.2 than 1.8 (... leastwise, they'd have a difficult time justifying it). http://www.michael.shaffer.net/decor/Gamma_black.png hth & cheerios ... shAf :o) Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland www.micro-investigations.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
