I'm trying to catch up on Gamma here... can someone veryfy that I'm understanding this right...
Different monitors are likely calibrated at different Gamma (is it Gamma range)?
I gather most PC monitors, out of the box, are around 2.2 gamma range? (At least when I load Gamma chart in themonitor at work, that's the value I read.
My monitor at home, which is extra bright, reads at Gamma 1.5 (at current settings, which I like). However, before I post something online, for others to view, I should adjust this image so people with your average gamma 2.2 monitors can see it, and it not being dark and muddy looking? Photoshop has gamma adjustment, so I should be able to just tweak the gamma setting... While on my home monitor it will look a bit washed out, it'll look fine on your avearge PC monitor?
In general terms, am I understanding this right? I read parts of the thread, but I'm getting too lost in specific terminology to really follow it. I need it broken down in plain english, so I can start catching up. Thanks :)
