You could say exactly the same about Windows and gamma 1.8 (and
you'd probably find that the issue would be much more pervasive
there). It's not that gamma 2.2 is the "ideal" gamma value.
Why not? At least the best of the power function compromises, for
visual reasons, according to our friend Bruce Lindbloom. It trust
his maths.
As I said, experts seem to disagree here. If 2.2 was so ideal, why was
*L invented at all?
In any case, my point is that at least for the ColorMunki target
audience, subtle advantages of one gamma over the other do not
outweigh the clear disadvantages the users would experience if the
gamma of the host OS wasn't respected.
2.2 "native" PC value? If you've followed the evolution of PCs and
Windows over the year, from the DOS days, I don't know how you can
make that claim. To me, there isn't anything "native" about 2.2 and
PCs any more than those that argue that 1.8 is "native" to Macs,
that's all hogwash.
I meant native in the simple sense of "default", here and now, for
whatever historic reasons.
