Problem:
When viewing images in XV, the images appear to be too dark.

Pixel!FX and XV perform gamma correction indifferent ways.

1) Start PFX with this command : pfx -displayGamma 1.0
OR add this line to the resource file ( $PIXELFXDIR/Pfx ) : -displayGamma 1.0
2) In Pixel!SCAN do a pre-scan and adjust gamma to 2.2
3) Do a final scan with gamma at 2.2.
4) Save the image after final scan.
5) XV will now display the saved image correctly.
