I think that dialog is so amusing.

What the Mac calls "Standard Gamma" is not a standard at all. It is used by a handful of starving artists out of a stubborn belief that different is better. These people wear black at all times and have pieces of metal sticking through their noses and eyebrows. They wear glasses that make them look Swedish.

Meanwhile the real gamma as used by every digital camera from $10,000 pro gear to the cheapest pocket point-and-shoot, the gamma used by the display of every cell phone, the gamma found on over a billion PC's, the gamma that appears in every single live television production in the universe, that gamma that every television ever made implements, that gamma is the "non-Standard" "Television Gamma". LOL

Seriously, why would you want your image to not be set for correct display on over 10 billion devices. Why would you choose to have it look right on just a few hundred thousand? (I know there are more Mac's than that, but most are no longer running gamma 1.8)

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)
