Gamma control

Oh, this is such a joy. Sheesh.The display standards for grading and evaluation of Rec.709 media has been in use for over a decade, for all broadcast/streaming/web use: sRGB color primaries, D65 white point, 100 nits max brightness, gamma 2.4 (semi-darkened room) with 2.2 allowed for "bright room" or web use.Premiere has always followed those standards.But for some unknown reason, when Apple started with their Retina monitors, they made the settings used by their OS level color management utility ColorSync to use the specified Rec.709 camera transform gamma of 1.96, rather than the specified display gamma of 2.4.So any application that allows ColorSync to control Rec.709 media during playback will be using the 1.96 gamma setting. This includes QuickTime player, Chrome and Safari browsers, most other apps.And yes, if you watch any broadcast or streamed media through those applications, you are getting that with the display gamma of 1.96.But VLC most often does not allow ColorSync control, and uses gamma 2.4.Another fun thing ... some newer Macs have an option called "HDTV" ... and if you have it and use it, that will use gamma 2.4 across all the apps mentioned above.So if you use VLC, or can select HDTV, then you get the same content but with gamma 2.4.So, let's say you make a file that looks good when displayed with gamma 1.96, which lifts the shadows a lot and mids a bit ... meaning you have to drop the shadows/mids in the grading ... and yea, it looks
