Quote -      I -and others- have submitted bug reports for this.  The default of gamma:1 for a new node is fine;  it is not OK to reset image map gamma to 1 after I have specifically set it otherwise.

     The behavior isn't consistent.  Both of these image maps are similar in hue and brightness (Genetica makes them this way).  Both drive diffuse and bump.  Poser reset the gamma of one but not the other.  So, one appears noticeably brighter.

     Every.  Time.  I  Open.  The.  Scene.

This is exactly what I'm getting too.

I put in a support request to SM detailing the problem and here's their reply:

"Thank you for contacting Support. Gamma Correction is an option in the Render Settings."

Clearly they didn't read my description of the problem properly.
