Hi Roger,
That's a fine approach, David.
It actually feeds the argument that either gammas (1.8 or 2.2) or L*
can be have "independent" of the hardware. Which goes against the
point that Uli was making that there is such thing as a "native",
natural, sort of hardware gamma. He'd argue that only one of those
two gamma values are "best" for your hardware.
Oh, that's a complete misunderstanding. I'm talking about the default
value of the *operating system*. The hardware is completely irrelevant
for that. The Mac OS X GUI and assume a gamma of 1.8 on Intel as well
as PPC hardware. The Windows GUI and non color managed applications,
OTOH hand, assume a gamma of 2.2, even if installed on an Intel Mac
via Bootcamp.
There's nothing "natural" about that (I never used that word), it's
simply a decision Apple and Microsoft made. It's the OS default and
"native" to the OS in exactly that sense.
How did you get the impression I was talkin about hardware? I never did.
Bye
Uli
