I am just curious, Lars, why do you think this is desirable?

A colorspace with a gamma of approximately 2.2 means that it is nearly visually linear. This means that the digital steps give very smooth tone graduations. A colorspace with a linear gamma will have many graduations in the highlights and few in the shadows.

Just curious,

Ray
