  • Gamma 2.2 in Photoshop

    How do you know if an image is gamma 2.2 in Photoshop? I know you have to have your image in 32bit mode. When I go to Proof Colors it gets darker. Is this Gamma 2.2? Is there a way to know?

    If you open your linear 1.0 render (with correct LWF), then it will display correctly in PS with the 2.2 automatically applied for you.
    If you then go and proof colors, it depends which profile you use for proofing. Are you proofing to print to a specific printer/paper?

      I want to make sure my textures are proper. When I download from the web, what is it? Let's say it never sees PS; just brought into V-Ray. I am assuming if it looks good, it is good.

        It depends on the file format you downloading. Generally the exr and hdri formats are 32 bit with linear gamma. Most file formats used for web like jpg and png are 8 bit images with sRGB gamma applied.
        When you bring that files in 3ds max you can either set their input gamma or leave Max to decide how to load it.
        But if it looks good enough to you or you do not need an exact representation of a certain color it is not necessary to use an exact values.
