+    <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

+      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.

+      Before fine tuning the gamma in GCM, you should know what your monitor
+      native gamma is, what display gamma you want to reach and then do the
+      math yourself.
