The basic gamma correction function is an exponential function of the form: lookup value = intensity (to the power) 1.0/y Where (y) is gamma, and it represents the nonlinearity of the monitor. If you want to see a simple lookup table of monitor values, check out the readme.doc that ships with R3. If you need more information about gamma, pick up a copy of "Illumination and Color in Computer Generated Imagery" by Roy Hall (published by Springer Verlag press). – G
