Quick question... well, background first. Okay, a while back
we saw how you could see some "fun" stuff by option-clicking
on the 7.0 in the 7.0 Monitor CDEV. Cute. Then I option-
clicked on the "Options..." button and got to see an extended
dialog. There's a button there for a using special gamma --
the main option being "Uncorrected Gamma." If I'm not mistaken,
the gamma channel has to do with brightness. When I selected
this, the monitor's output became darker. Hmm...
Now then, I've noticed that the GIF pictures I produce on the
Sun appear darker on a Sun than they do on the Mac. With this
little option, I'm now wondering if the Mac II video card has
a brightened gamma channel. I'm sans documentation, so perhaps
you might know? Just wondering... I'd like my system to be
close to "normal" as possible.
