filmscanners: This Gamma thing version 2.0

[Tom Christiansen <tomchr@softhome.net>]

Hi Gang,

No, I will not seize fire. My questions keep popping up and I demand 
answers!! :-))


Alright. This mysterious gamma controls the way colors are displayed on the 
monitor through some exponential function of some kind. Fine!

Here I am. Spending hours trying to get the gamma just right so that all my 
pictures will look great on any platform. And then I hit the print 
button... Then what??


In short: How does the gamma setting affect the output when the image is 
printed out on paper? Should I have two different files: One with gamma=1 
for printing, and one with gamma=2.2 for web publishing?


Thanks,

        Tom
