Hey guys. I've usually been told that it's good to leave gamma correction on. However, in some images, it tends to make my characters look flat and washed out, eliminating most of the highlights/specularity on skin, and i notice that shadows get a lot lighter as well. When i turn it off, those same characters get nice highlights/specularity and gives the image some nice depth.

The scene is lighted by a diffuse IBL, spotlights, and infinite lights. When i use indirect lighting, i never turn gamma correction on so it isn't an issue with that particular lighting.

Do you guys render with gamma correction on or off? And which one tends to be the better option?

I'm using Poser Pro 2012.
