Quote - No, I think that remark was addressing my recommendation to select "all of the above" instead of "all materials" which is brand-new information to me. Still need to hear the justification for 1) why and 2) why was this not shared before.

That's not what I said at all.

I am writing about the color maps.

I am writing in response to anybody who says

"Oh - I like gamma correction now. I enable it and set gamma=1 and it looks good."

This is either a nonsense statement, based on incorrect perception, or inaccurate based on the fact that gamma is not 1 in all places.

If GC is on with all gamma=1, there is no difference than if GC is off.

How do you get all gamma=1?

You get that if you never modify an individual image gamma, and in render settings you place a 1.

And by "you" here I mean anybody (plural) who configured the content. If an image gamma  was individually configured by a vendor and "you" bought it, then "you" (plural) have modified an individual gamma value. "You" cannot say gamma = 1 in such case, because "you" (plural) did two things, not one thing.

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)
