There's something you're not telling me.

If you put .2 in Value_2 of Math_Functions_2, what you did was multiply the gamma correction factor (2.2) with .2, giving us .44 which is the oppposite of gamma correction. That would be going the other way.

This is what that looks like.

Are you using Poser Pro? Did you accidentally turn on GC in Pro, thus doubling the amount of GC?

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)
