Quote - I tried to gamma correct my monitor but don't know if it worked.
At least the images look better to me but not sure how they look to others.

I really, really don't understand anything that uses math, I'm a math dummy :)

Uh - you're not supposed to gamma correct your monitor. You should calibrate you monitor so that it conforms to sRGB specifications for color rendition.

You gamma correct your images. That's what cameras do. A photograph looks right on your monitor because it is gamma corrected. A render can look wrong because it is not gamma corrected.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
