Hello Jasen - 

RJT>>> "Color temperature" is a term that I first encountered
RJT>>> back 

RJT>> > when 

CA>> I would guess that has been superceded by "gamma" now? 

JB> nope, gamma describes the gain curvature over the input
JB> range, colour tremperature is related to white balance. 

JB> (gamma can be applied equally to monochrome monitors...) 

JB> Macintosh monitors use gamma 1 which mean a linear gain - a
JB> signal input half-way between the white and black signals
JB> prioduces a gray that's got half the luminous intensity of
JB> the white. 

JB> PC monitors with gamma near 2 use a logaruthmic gain...
JB> (that's about all I know) 

I've never cared enough to check on that but thanks for sharing.
