The overall brightness has been improved but you can notice that the clouds are now greatly saturated due to the numerical saturation
of the implementation used. A custom method that preserves the original color range can of course be implemented instead.

The gamma correction should tend to add less saturation effect but should introduce some other type of color artifacts instead.
The gamma correction should tend to add less saturation effect as the mapping is non linear and there is no numerical saturation possible as in the previous method.
