The majority of TMOs return tone mapped images with linear values. This means that gamma encoding needs to be applied to the output of these TMOs before visualization or before writing tone mapped images on the disk; otherwise these images may appear dark. A few operators (e.g. Mertens et al.'s operator) return gamma encoded values, so there is no need to apply gamma to them; in this case a message (e.g. a Warning) is displayed after tone mapping alerting that there is no need of gamma encoding.
