fwiw ImageReady provides a gamma translation tool so you can view and
amend images with 'the other' gamma.

ie5/mac users also have the option to use the Mac's built in colour correction
software, ColorSync, to have 100% colour-accurate images
(although this relies on having your system set up right in the 1st place).
