Hi,
I'm using digikam & imageplugins RC2. I'm newbie so pls. forgive me if I ask obvious questions. I've found 3 ways of correcting gamma: 1 Fix > Colors > Brightness/Contrast/Gamma 2 Fix > Colors > Levels Adjust 3 Fix > Colors > Whitebalance Curiously I seem to be getting different results from all three. I understand that Gamma can be adjusted either on the Luminance and/or on each of the RGB channels. I am not sure what each (1,2,3) option does, as regards to gamma adjusting. For example to do a 30% gamma increase, in 1 I set gamma=0.3. This gives me image A. There is no indication as to where this adjustment is done (Luminance or RGB) If I do the same in 3, setting gamma=1.3 (usability problem? why not use the same scale?) I get image B. Image B has noticeably more color saturation than image A. Again there is no indication of where the channel setting is being used; apparently this time is in the RGB channels?? If I do the same in 2, the interface clearly shows different gamma settings for Gamma_luminance, Gamma_R,G and B. Now If I hike gamma 30% in all three RGB channels, I get image C. Curiously, it looks like image A, and has little color saturation. If in 2, I just give 30% more gamma to luminance, I get image D. Image D (luminance gamma adjust) looks exactly the same as image C (RGB gamma adjust). Can someone explain how all this gamma adjustments work? and also why the "Whitebalance > gamma" adjust gives me much more saturated colors? Any recommendation on which one to use? Thanks! Ariel |

But i'm agree with you all gamma settings must use the same excursion values.
