carry out gamma correction

## NAME

int im\_gammacorrect(in, out, exponent)\
 IMAGE \*in, \*out;\
 double exponent;

## DESCRIPTION

im\_gammacorrect performs gamma correction to in.  The result in written in out. The correction is carried out by creating a lookup table using the double exponent and mapping in through it.  The exponent is applied on a ramp lut and the resultant lut is scaled.  All channels of im are mapped through the lookup table.
