Gamma is primarily documented in the Installation Guide (since Gamma must be set up during installation). In the end of the Gamma section, under "Storing Your Gamma Settings" you'll find a note that tells you that gamma is not stored with project files, with the single exception of the specially named 3ds.prj file that's read at start-up. Sorry you got caught on this. We purposely did not include gamma storage with project files because we didn't want a situation where your gamma settings would change by simply loading a project file. The effect of gamma can be subtle, and it would be a nightmare if your gamma settings changed when you loaded a project file you got from someone else's system. In most cases, once you've found the correct gamma settings, you don't change them. If you _do_ change them frequently, you want to _know_ they've been changed. – Jack
