[Gimp-user] gimprc gamma and gamma_convert
Hi. I'm looking at the gimprc file and wondering how GIMP handles gamma. # Set the gamma correction values for the display # 1.0 corresponds to no gamma correction. For most displays, # gamma correction should be set to between 2.0 and 2.6 # Run the utility gamma_correct to determine appropriate values # for your display. # # One important item to keep in mind: Many images that you might # get from outside sources will in all likelihood already be # gamma-corrected. In these cases, the image will look washed-out # if the gimp has gamma-correction turned on. If you are going # to work with images of this sort, turn gamma correction off # by removing this line, or setting the values to 1.0. # gamma-correction 1.0 # gamma-correction 2.0 # (gamma-correction 1.0) This came from a GIMP 1.2.3 Windows gimprc. Setting a gamma value of 2.2 or 1.0 in gimprc had no visible effect. How is this feature enabled? Is there a gamma setting somewhere in the preferences dialog? Where is the gamma_correct tool mentioned in gimprc?

The short answer is that the gimprc gamma setting is ignored. The longer answer is that there are a some plug-ins that ask GIMP for this value and might choose to do something with it. But since it is ignored in general, these plug-ins can't probably be doing the right thing. Sven ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
