Could anybody clarify gamma confusion I recently found?
As I understand the purpose of calibration process is to linearize certain
device. So to calibrate monitor I should find out what gamma my uncalibrated
monitor and VLUT in video card have. The overall gamma = Mon Gamma / VLUT Gamma.
To linearize my monitor I should apply reverse gamma equal to overall gamma. The
question is why then all calibration programs ask me for gamma I want calibrate
to ? What does it mean? If all the above is right they should define uncalibrated
gammas by itself. So could you please explain this gamma issue to me?
