My question is, how do I know if adobe gamma is going to set the monitor at 2.2, or if the 3dfx software will over-ride and set the gamma to whatever you set it at? The monitor gamma seems much higher than the voodoo card's default value of 1.00. Use one or the other! If you use

You may be right that it merely is a calibration issue, but could it be that some of your shadow detail is actually being clipped on the scan? One of the problems with most "affordable" scanners is the limited dynamic range (Dmax 3.0 or less), in effect meaning that you cannot scan detail in the

I Believe that in all reproduction it is nessesary to sacrifice shadow detail , if not it gets dull.Details in midtones need a steep enough curve to stand out well,and that costs heavier shadows and loss of higlihtdetail too. Anyway, you can compensate a bit with increasing saturation and unsharp
