Thanks very much Jonas, I'm amazed that its that simple. Especially as my understanding from my conversations with Jack P. on the subject is that it is weighted so that the midtones would be effected most, with the darkest and the lightest values effected least. Which makes total sense from the sampling I did previously. This formula looks to me as though everything gets boosted across the spectrum, but that can't be, so there must be some algorithmic distribution built in that just isn't apparent. Thankyou very much for tracking this down. I think it will be most useful in helping more fully understanding gamma and its relationship to NTSC legal colors in the 3DS context. BTW can I assume that this information may be shared should the occassion arise? John
