  Gamma correction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gamma correction, gamma nonlinearity, gamma encoding, or often simply gamma, is the name of a nonlinear operation used to code and decode luminance or tristimulus values in video or still image systems.
Gamma encoding helps to map data into a more perceptually uniform domain, so as to optimize perceptual performance of a limited signal range, such as a limited number of bits in each RGB component.
Gamma compression is used to encode linear luminance or RGB values into video signals or digital file values; gamma expansion is the inverse, or decoding, process, and occurs largely in the nonlinearity of the electron-gun current–voltage curve in CRT monitor systems.

 Gamma 2: 12/16/03
Gamma 1 was a strong but flawed debut from guitarist Ronnie Montrose's first band since the breakup of his eponymous '70s hard rock outfit.
Gamma 2, then, came with both aspirations and expectations attached… and fulfilled them both, in spades.
The only hint of a misstep on this album is Gamma's cover of "Something In The Air," which is affectionate, but feels somewhat out of sync with the edgy tone of the rest of the album (and indeed, the band in general).

 Poynton's Gamma FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
It is conventional in computer graphics to store linear-light values in the framebuffer, and introduce gamma correction at the lookup table at the output of the framebuffer.
If you use the term loosely, in the case of a Mac you could call the gamma 1.4, 1.8 or 2.5 depending which part of the system you were discussing.
Correction of dot gain is conceptually similar to gamma correction in video: physical correction of the "defect" in the reproduction process is very well matched to the lightness perception of human vision.

 Graphics Lab About gamma correction
Gamma correction consists of applying the inverse of this relationship to the image before display, i.e.
For example, if your browser is Netscape Communicator, your image viewer is xv, and the gamma of your display monitor is 2.0, then you can ask xv to apply gamma correction as it displays an image by changing the invoking command in Netscape to "image/*; xv -gamma 2.0 %s".
This is called the system gamma, and it is intended to compensate for the fact that the images you are viewing typically represent brightly illuminated scenes, but you typically viewing them while seated in a dimly illuminated room, which changes the transfer characteristics of your eye.

 Gamma Correction in Computer Graphics
For a gamma of 2.2, for example, light at 50% intensity is generated with an 8-bit value of 186.
Gamma is the exponent on the input to the monitor that distorts it to make it darker.
In this gamma space, 0 is fl, 255 is white, and 186 is 50% intensity.

 PNG Specification: Gamma Tutorial
There are various images around that purport to measure gamma, usually by comparing the intensity of an area containing alternating white and fl with a series of areas of continuous gray of different intensity.
When the resulting image is displayed on a CRT with a gamma of 2.5, the image on screen ends up with a gamma of about 1.25 relative to the original scene, which is appropriate for "dim surround" viewing.
The gamma of the table is actually the reciprocal of the number that "gamma" prints, and it does not include the CRT gamma.

 Background to monitor calibration and gamma
You estimate gamma by viewing the chart from sufficient distance (typically one to two meters from the monitor) so you don't see the pattern details, then either locating the position where the average luminance of the pattern matches the solid tone or operating a slider to obtain a match.
Gamma is estimated for each zone by locating the position where the average intensity across the zone is constant.
In practice, the same gamma is assumed for each individual color in an RGB file; there is no hue shift when it is printed or displayed.

 The Gamma adjustment page
Basically, gamma is the relationship between the brightness of a pixel as it appears on the screen, and the numerical value of that pixel.
Away from the target gamma the colour of the inner squares shift away from neutral grey, assuming red/cyan, green/magenta, and blue/yellow hues.
The end result is a gamma setting of anywhere between 1.2 and 1.8, depending on the quality of your monitor hardware and the resolution it's set to.

 PS7, gamma 2.2, & digital photoprocessing - The macosxhints Forums
The default gamma in the Mac OS is 1.8; on the PC it is 2.2.
Digital photoprocessors market primarily to the PC community therefore print assuming a gamma of 2.2 which causes the Mac print images to be noticeably dark, often unacceptably so.
In Photoshop 6 on OS 9, it is possible to change the gamma using the Monitor Control Panel and recalibrate the screen gamma.

 Gamma: Digital Imaging: Glossary: Learn: Digital Photography Review
When unadjusted, most CRT monitors have a "gamma" of 2.5 which means that pixels with a brightness of 0.5, will be displayed with a brightness of only 0.18 (0.5^2.5) in non-colormanaged applications (*).
Calibration via software and/or hardware ensures that the monitor outputs the image based on a predetermined gamma curve, typically 2.2 for Windows, which is approximately the inverse of the response of the human vision.
The sRGB and Adobe RGB color spaces are also based on a gamma of 2.2.

 Gacrux / Gamma Crucis 2?
For a time, observers believed that Gacrux had a faint, bluish white (A3 V) binary companion lying within two minutes of arc that is still designated in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database and the Yale Bright Star Catalogue, 1991 5th Revised Edition as Gamma Crucis B (HR 4764 or HD 108925).
Gamma Crucis B? This hypothesized, much dimmer (and as yet unseen) companion is probably a white dwarf (DA3?
Once more massive and brighter than Gacrux and so burnt out much faster, it is now probably a few hundred times fainter than Sol, with 0.6 to 1.4 times its mass and less than one percent of its diameter -- a very dense object at planetary size.

It is an attractive kite-shaped figure whose main stars are all so much about the same brightness that it is hard to tell which is the luminary.
The prize, such as it is, goes to just-barely-fourth magnitude (3.60) Gamma Volantis, which is a bit of a cheat, since the star is a wide double (separation now 14.1 seconds of arc) made of Gamma-1 Vol (the western one, at magnitude 5.67) and Gamma-2 (the eastern, at 3.78).
If taken separately, Beta Vol is the winner (as stated by Allen in his "star names" book).
