Here we go again. It's not enough that people are intimidated. Now, yet again, a thread regarding GC will create MASSIVE confusion because people like kawecki say things like he said.

Please - ignore him.

Kawecki denies the existance of the sRGB standard, which all monitors follow. His problem stems from the use of the word "correction" in the term "gamma correction". It used to be a correction. Now it is an intentional part of how displays work, and for good reason. He thinks that images don't need "correcting" on modern displays, because they are not primitive tools made of rocks and bee guts anymore. He's wrong. They are still non-linear.

All the incoming textures you use are gamma corrected. They must be anti-gamma corrected to work with a linear rendering equation (which is the only kind any of us have). Then the final result must be gamma corrected again to match the response curves of the actual monitors WE ALL USE.

Ignore him. please.

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)
