I wrote a small piece on my website concerning monitor gamma, with a few really useful links. There is confusion concering gamma and arguments to use a gamma of 1.8 (print standard), 2.2 (sRGB standard), or a compromise of 2.0 for web. It is a bit of a minefield when creating images just for the web, because you can have people view your images from a range of 1.8 (approx Mac standard) to 2.5 (average uncalibrated PC setting). Don't feel too daunted by all the information, it is worth the effort to see images in all their glory. Even with my conservative and play safe settup of a gamma of 2.0, about 50% of the images I view are horribly washed out, and I imagine that to many people with an uncalibrated monitor and system my images seem dark. Hope this helps. CheersMessage edited on: 10/11/2005 17:34
