I did not realize that my previous gamma-corrected image looks washed out on most of the monitors out there.  It looks perfectly beautiful on my monitor.  In the past I did notice that images that looked perfect on my monitor at home ended up looking totally washed out on my monitor at work.  All the subtle contrast and color variations were gone.  I'm surprised, however, that most of the monitors out there are more similar to my employer's monitors than to my own at home.  I'm really at a loss as to how to "correct" my lights so that the GC'd image looks better on your monitors, but I will give it a shot.  In the image above, the intensity of the IBL light was reduced to 45%.  Everything else was the same.  I'll be interested to learn if the GC'd image still looks washed out.  Just let me know and I will adjust my lights again.

BTW, just so everyone knows, I'm using BB's VSS skin shader PR3 AO.  The Gamma value was changed to 1.0 (GC off) in the left image and remained at 2.2 (GC on) in the right image.  Both images were rendered in Poser Pro with render GC turned off.  The render settings were as follows:

Raytrace bounces = 1
Irradiance Caching = 0
Pixel samples = 2
Min shading rate = 1.25
