I've read a few things about what Gamma is and I think I understand it,<br>
but I'm still not clear on what the Gamma Slider does in xsane.<br>
<p>
Does the Gamma Slider:<br>
<p>
a) Have no effect on the resulting scan file, it merely assists viewing<br>
on your monitor.<br>
<p>
b) Modify the resulting scan file to look pleasant on your monitor (and<br>
thus render it potentially unpleasant on a different monitor).<br>
<p>
How does all this relate to web publishing? Let's say I found a utility<br>
to adjust the gamma of my monitor (apparently there is a windows utility<br>
at <a href="http://www.entechtaiwan.com">http://www.entechtaiwan.com</a>). Let's say I adjusted it to an ideal of<br>
1.0. That's wonderful for me, but then if I publish it on the web, it<br>
will look awful for everyone else.<br>
<p>
How does it relate to archiving images? Should I leave the gamma alone<br>
for an archived image and only adjust it for a web image?<br>
<p>
Also, I seem to be finding (as a newbie user of xsane who's only done a<br>
few scans) that the pics only look ok with the gamma turned right up.<br>
What does this mean?<br>
