[FCP-L] Re: Semi-OT: Mac QT to PC WMV gamma settings

When I installed Snow Leopard the monitor default display changed.

See this Apple KB article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3712

To better serve the needs of consumers and digital content producers, Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard uses a gamma value of 2.2 by default. In versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.6, the default system gamma value was 1.8. Using the capabilities of ColorSync, the gamma value of 2.2 is automatically applied and seamlessly transitions your display, images and videos to the new gamma value.

For instance, the ACDs I have do not use 2.2 as Apple's default gamma when I select the preset profile. You have to create a profile that is specifically set to 2.2 gamma. I think the difference is how QT X and FCP display files within their own UI that has changed.
