	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 is widely believed to be a parameter representing the nonlinear nature of CRT monitors.
		Gamma correction is indispensable in all types of displays, even in those that have linear transfer function like PDPs (Plasma Display Panels) or Digital Light Processors (DLPs).
		In order to correct the problem and effectively use binary codes available, Gamma correction has to be applied at the time that the scene is captured.

		The direct way to measure gamma is with a photometer: a device to measure light intensity on a linear scale.
		Another "gotcha" in gamma correction is its interaction with quantization.
		Storing an image this way without gamma correction is likely to cause problems, because the eye is more sensitive to luminance variations at the dark end of the luminance scale.

	vbAccelerator - Gamma Correction
		Gamma correction was developed to make it easier to adjust colours displayed on Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) displays.
		Since the gamma calculation involves powers, and for a given value of gamma and colour the output colour value is constant, it makes sense to pre-calculate the new colour values and store them in an array so the calculation doesn't need to be repeated each time.
		Once the gamma arrays have been calculated it is relatively simple to apply them to an image using a DIB Section.

		Gamma correction, a concept central to displaying computer graphics, is essential to quality image generation for visual simulations.
		When gamma correction is applied, you can improve the quality of a displayed image for a given precision depending, of course, on the precision at each stage in the process of producing and displaying the image.
		The problem with correcting a database is that there are a number of things you'd like to be able to do in a database and having to gamma correct it in advance curtails some of them.

	Gamma Correction
		Gamma correction is needed because of the nature of CRTs (cathode ray tubes - the monitors usually used for viewing images).
		Another is that most image formats don't specify a standard gamma, or don't have some way or recording what their gamma correction is. The third thing is that not many people understand what gamma correction is all about, and create a lot of images with varying gamma's.
		Gamma correction is largely a crock because the fundamental assumption is wrong.

	James Stephens » RAW Conversion: Demosaicing And Gamma Correction
		Gamma correction is necessary to redistribute tonal information to more closely correspond to the way the human eye perceives brightness.
		As far as I understand it, gamma correction on a camera’s sensor corrects the linear sensor response to that of the eye and gamma correction on a CRT display device corrects the displays square law response (to the gamma corrected sensor data) to that of the eye.
		Concerning gamma, the point is that the gamma response is inherent to the CRT and must be corrected by the inverse law (gamma correction)to produce a displayed image which maps the original scene correctly.

		If gamma correction is not applied and linear-light image data is applied to a CRT, the midtones will be reproduced too dark.
		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.
		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.

		Note that the effect of the CRT gamma is to darken the midtones relative to the dark and light regions.
		This value was chosen to simultaneously correct for the CRT gamma of 2.5 and compensate for the apparent reduction of contrast which occurs when a TV is viewed against the dim background typically found in a living room.
		On these systems the frame buffer values provided by the application are corrected for the gamma of the CRT by a lookup table in the display controller, producing a display system gamma of 1.0 which linearly maps frame buffer values into intensity.

	Gamma Correction
		Gamma correction is a function of a projector that corrects errors between the true value of each pixel coming from an inputted signal, and the actual intensity that the projector ends up displaying in that pixel.
		Gamma correction allows the user to adjust the values of the inputted signal to give you a more detailed picture.
		Gamma correction changes the relationship of red to green to blue, and hence can dramatically affect the overall image.
