Image Gamma = 1

Render Gamma = 2.2

This is where Gamma Correction is intentionally unbalanced and is NOT actually a "correction". It is a change in gamma, but not a correction of gamma.

You can't use gamma-in=1 and gamma-out=2.2. It produces washed out results. You could track the math easily enough, or you can use your eyes.

And there is no reason to do this. Nevertheless people keep doing this. I don't know why. Yes it's ugly.

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)
