Near the beginning of this thread it was said that gamma correction is much better on a monitor with gamma properly adjusted. What about monitor calibration devices such as the Spyder or Huey (the ones I familiar with)? Do these devices do a good job of calibrating the monitor (I'm assuming these devices adjust gamma) for the proper viewing of gamma corrected images?

I do like to use gamma correction in my renders, but they tend to lose something in the translation to print.

I've been invesitgating the links provided so far concerning gamma, but the info, at times, can be a bit thick. It's going to take some time to digest all the info I've come across so far.

Linear workflow has always been a puzzle to me. As soon as I think I understand, I read another article and I'm conjused again.
