Converting from gamma 1.00 to 2.20 causes serious histogram artifacts. This is manifested by recursive and overlapping "waves" with major gaps in the lower (dark) part of the histogram as can be seen here:

Editing an image with such major histogram distortion is quite difficult if not impossible.
Question: Is there any way to do a gamma conversion and still end up with a smooth and uniform histogram?
