I've long felt that forcing the display to a specific gamma value is
a hangover from the days when we tried to do color management by
trying to force every monitor to behave identically (which didn't
work). Nowadays I generally set color temperature (on CRTs), white
luminance and black level, then profile at the native gamma. It gives
me an accurate display with smooth gradients, where forcing a gamma
tweak often produces some banding.
Bruce, I hope I'm the voice of the silent majority here by asking the
obvious newbie question.
How do I know what my monitor's native gamma is? Then obviously, how do
I avoid tweaking it?
And..
Once I set my RGB guns via hardware controls, does this new white point
not now become "native"?
Thanks, trying to keep up here.
Tyler
