<<Framebuffer gamma at 2.2 Input file gamma = 2.2 Output file gamma = 2.2>> I know that if i put all these settings to the same value I get no problems with gamma, but if I have them all diffrent what will happen? I was just wondering wich setting that do what and when? But when writing all this down I think I'm beginning to explain to myself what I didn't understand<g>!! But these are my own thoughts so I wanted them acknoleged by someone else. So here goes again. Fambuffer gamma: Is used ONLY for viewing files on the frambuffer, and to get the right gamma value to set into the output file gamma. When rendering only to the frambuffer it will be gammacorrected to this value. Wich value is used when rendering both to frambuffer and disk? Only outputfile gamma for both? Outputfile gamma at 48bit and 24bit to the frambuffer? Or both in the 48bit colorspace making the gamma calculation twice? Input file gamma: Is ONLY used for "degammyfying" pictures loaded without a gamma value inside the file. Output file gamma: Is used for all images made within 3D Studio that will be saved to DISK. -M.E Ps I hope I got it right this time <g> Ds
