Gamma Related Topics
======================================

While most computer images are encoded with a gamma of 2.2 (really 2.2
to 2.6), GraphicsMagick does not attempt to convert images to
linear-light before applying image processing operations since it is
not possible to know for sure to know how to do so.  Some algorithms
such as resize, blur, and composition, will produce more accurate
results when performed on images encoded in a linear-light scaled
space.

For a typical sRGB image encoded in a gamma-corrected space with gamma
2.2, the option ``-gamma 0.45`` (1/2.2 = 0.45) will remove that
encoding for subsequent algorithms so that they are done in
linear-light space.  When processing is completed, then ``-gamma 2.2``
will restore gamma-correction for viewing.  It is recommended to use a
Q16 or Q32 build of GraphicsMagick when doing this since linear-light
space encoding is not efficient and will lose accuracy if stored with
less than 14 bits per sample.

The following documents and pages provide interesting information on
gamma-related topics:

`Charles Poynton's Gamma FAQ <http://www.poynton.com/GammaFAQ.html>`_,
provides an excellent description of what gamma is, why it is good,
and when you don't want it.
