Do you lose any information this way?<br>

<p>
I believe that on high-end equipment, like Silicon Graphics workstations<br>
and stuff, you can set the gamma to 1.0, and the video driver, or maybe<br>
the video hardware will transform it appropriately for the monitor. In<br>
other words, all software can assume a gamma of 1.0 and something<br>
in-between will adjust it appropriately. There is some command -<br>
"setgamma" or something. I think even some PC cards can do this too.<br>
Sounds like a neat idea.<br>
