Dave Martindale's gamma test images


If the gAMA chunk is being handled properly, these five images should all look alike. If the gAMA chunk is being ignored, they will be increasingly dark from top to bottom. (There is some round-off error at the extremely high gamma settings, so the last image in the five is all black on the right hand side. This does not occur in the real-world range of gamma settings, only on this test.)
