- CRT monitors have native gamma around 2.4 - 2.5 and LCD monitors
- usually emulate the same value.
- </para>
- <para>
- Traditionally, Linux and MS Windows operating systems use image encoding
- of 1/2.2 and do not apply any gamma adjustment to the image or video
- card LUT. Therefore the overall gamma is expected to be around 1.1
- (which is useful to allow for dim viewing conditions at home
- environment).
- </para>
- <para>
- Apple used to use image encoding gamma close to 1/1.8 to naturally match
- the native gamma of printing devices (and therefore internally applied
- gamma adjustment of 1/1.45 before displaying images on monitor so that
- the images displayed correctly).
- </para>
- <para>
- Nonetheless, since OS X (v10.6 Snow Leopard) the default image encoding
- gamma has also the value of 1/2.2 to meet the requirements of consumer
- imaging industry.
- </para>
- <para>
- Before fine tuning the gamma in &app;, you should know what your monitor
- native gamma is, what display gamma you want to reach and then do the
- math yourself.
