Correcting the Gamma Value
The gamma value aims to match the brightness of the image displayed on the monitor to the
brightness of the original document (film). Individual monitors reproduce colors in characteristic
ways that are summarized by their “gamma values.” The gamma values of most monitors fall
within a range of 1.4 to 2.2, which reproduces colors slightly darker than the original. To faithfully
reproduce the original colors, it is necessary to compensate for your monitor’s gamma value with
the FilmGet FS setting. The program generally adjusts the monitor’s gamma value to 1.8 for both
the Windows and Macintosh version, but if your monitor does not operate at this default value, you
will need to adjust it.
