Quote - Brewgirlca, we need to know what is the gamma in your scene. I suggested a scene with known things that we share. You can't share that with me. Yes you have render gamma = 1. That does not mean that gamma = 1 throughout your system. What is the gamma of the color maps? What are the contents of the shaders? What if you have bought shaders that were built by people who used my VSS and those shaders happen to have shader GC?

I agree with this 100% especially if Brewgirlca wants to improve the rendering issues that were mentioned. My guess is that Brewgirlca may not know where to go to find the necessary information.  For me personally, I would like to know.  Will the Image Gamma show information for the shaders or is that something that I would need to look for in the advance settings of the Material Room?  I can only guess that it would be in the Advance settings of the Material room.
