Perhaps if I tweak the imageData on the PNG with paintCompression set to RLE, it will keep it from showing the gamma change?

For me, using PNG images has a positive consequence....etc.


The global default setting of the paintcompression can be different from the paintcompression of an image. An image has the paintcompression of the image format that it possessed when it was imported, i.e. fully imported (like with "put URL "binfile:filename" into img x), whereas a referenced image will have he default paintcompression setting.

This is probably what the docs want to state: "If the image was created with the import command, its paintcompression is set to the format of the imported picture file."

So you can have all he advantages of the PNG format, although the global paintcompression should be set to RLE.

However, the moment you change the imagedata of that image, the paintcompression will be the global one.

And, you can reset the global paintcompression any time you wish, for example via MSG.
