*gamma-correction is colours correcion which is used to give better results on CRT screens, because of different wave-lenghts of different colours, some colours are changed (plasmas and LCDs do invert gamma-correction, because they are prepared for typical signal - it is a left-over after first colour TVs)

And fine links too. Thx. I have a short article on <a href="http://lorand.somogyi.name/2008/06/raw-photo-processing-under-linux/" rel="nofollow">RAW processing</a> too, including few non-OSS too.

I have a short article on RAW processing too, including few non-OSS too.
