People using Windows set 2.2 gamma so they will see the 1.8 gamma very contrasted. By the other hand, people using Mac set 1.8 gamma and they will see windows pictures too soft. Other people said that whatever software you use (windows or Mac) 1.8 is better for images and for printing. Why don't use the same gamma in both software?. What are the advantages and diadvantages of 2.2 and 1.8 gamma respectively?
