I have a .tga file which I wrote using Photoshop/Windows, which is derived from a photo CD.  Having written a program to display and manipulate the image under Linux/C, I now find myself fiddling around with guesses as to the best gamma correction values to use.  Clearly, for example, without correction the .tga images tend to be way too blue looking.

Assuming a typical color monitor, and assuming RGB in 8 bits/color derived from scanning a color slide, is there some standard accepted starting point for the RGB gamma values?   That is, assuming a "correct" set of 8 bits/color
RGB values, what are the common gamma correction values for a typical color monitor?
