Martin, I'd just like to add Greg's comments and because of the values you put in your table, that whatever values you use for your FRAMEBUFFER should also be matched in INPUT and OUTPUT file, *unless* you want to change the input file gamma value from its original value. (Which is very rare and probably should be done independently before its used. So if you're going to use: Framebuffer gamma at 2.2 Input file gamma = 2.2 Output file gamma = 2.2 2.2 has less contrast than what many animators are accustom, which is why I typically recommend 1.8 Light scenes can handle 2.2 Dark scenes may need to go down to 1.2 Try using these values and then if this doesn't answer your questions come back and re-ask for clarification. -JE
