An interesting site I came across today that has some in depth explaination of the gamma issue I posted about in #12 of which, as I mentioned, I was not completely familiar with the reasons for it. The author mentions that you can use the gamma adjustment pre and post scaling to sort of fix the issue but it seems that this is a bit of a hack and to do it properly requires some more coding on the scale. So maybe one day ill add some gamma corrected scaling to my utilities.

But if your really interested to know then this page is really extensive. Its certainly cleared up why it happens although a lot of the examples in the pages are said to be incorrect but look correct on my monitor. It could be that my monitor is not performing the right gamma adjustments or has been set so that it linearizes the brightnesses and therefore breaks the assumption of the gamma adjustment. Well, you may get different milage from this to me !
