Quote - But someone that isn't familiar with Gamma Correction and gamma applied to materials will easily think that the Gamma is 1, because that's what's typed in the Gamma Correction box.

But if they never realize they can do that, then they must not be doing that. You don't go setting image gamma by accident. It's hard to do.

My point is, I made the assumption that since brewgirlca said gamma=1, she meant gamma=1. If she made gamma=1 in render settings, and she never, ever went into the material room and changed the individual gamma on one of the color maps to something other than 1 or "Use Render Setting", then gamma is 1 as claimed, and there can be no difference.

If, despite saying gamma=1, she has manually altered an image gamma value so that it does not equal 1, then gamma does not equal 1 anymore and there's nothing to refute. The difference in gamma is produced by enabling gamma, causing the specified value that is not 1 to be used.

Is it possible she altered the gamma on an image, but was not aware of doing so? Perhaps - which is why I said, in my first response to the issue, "Or for you to realize that you changed two things and assumed that the other thing was unimportant"

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)
