I suggest one more guess.
(But it doesn't matter: FFmpeg runs fine on Windows 
and Mac, I test regularly myself.)

FFmpeg does contain filter(s) that allow gamma 
correction, how do I reproduce with FFmpeg?

Sorry, but Photoshop is not a development tool I use 
either.

I already told you that if the issue is reproducible 
with -vcodec prores (you claimed it is), please use it.

Is encoding with prores needed to reproduce the issue, 
or are only seeing a problem with the software scaler?

Why didn't you use the command line I provided and that 
is not bound to some software we don't know much about 
to check the output of FFmpeg?

Please try to fix your mailer, Carl Eugen
