Re: Endless gamma in eXIf 2017-0119

Well, in my scenario everyone know what they application doing.

The just don't know how others application doing. And proposal allow 
both way.

If I'll try to  write PNG2JPG how I must handle case 'gamma in EXIF, no 
gAMA chunk'? Proposal have words 'data shall be assumed to be correct 
unless it can be determined to be incorrect'. You may choose 'no gAMA - 
no conflict, no incorrectness', I may choose 'no gAMA is for 1.0 gamma, 
if EXIF data content other it's incorrect'. How we should determine 
which of us are right? That's what specification writing for(via proposals).

If someone keep iCCP intact after applying gAMA you may point to 
specification(14.2). For gamma in eXIf you have nothing except your 
understanding. That is bad thing in proposal. Other (like compression 
'salt' we discuss before) does not motivate me to vote NO.
