I have read all the Gamma information in the 3DS docs, but I'm still not sure what file output gamma value to use, if any, when rendering to the PAR. My display gamma is set to 1.8 as is my file output gamma. I have been doing it this way since I got the PAR 9 months ago, buy I'm not sure I am getting the best output quality. Anyone out there have any advice on this subject? Also, should my file input gamma always be set to the same value as my output gamma?

FWIW, someone months ago said they had done a bunch of tests, and decided that 1.6 was the best gamma for the PAR. I've been using 1.8 myself. Paul S.
