Brightness
Hi all,
To display some of my photos correctly, i need to adjust the brightness of my monitor, but that isn't a nice job. I'm looking for a utility to adjust my screen brightness by software. (Preferably a tray icon.) Thanks in advance, Vincent |

(Preferably a tray icon.) Your video card's software might've added some tabs to the Display applet. Right-click on the desktop and select Properties (or run the Display applet in Control Panel). Under the Settings tab, click Advanced. See if your video software added a tab that lets you adjust gamma and brightness. Even if it adds a tray icon, it might end up bringing to this settings dialog, anyway. -- __________________________________________________ _______________ Post your replies to the newsgroup.

I've got a GeForce2, and do'nt see something about brightness/gamma in the
settings dialog. So I need to have a real software-dependent program to solve this. Vincent "Vanguard" see_signature schreef in bericht ... "JJ" wrote in message i.nl...

So why not visit nVidia's web site and download the full software package from them? http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_66.93 It even includes an application profile manager (just as does ATI's software) so you can specify a different color profile used when a particular application gets loaded. That way, the change becomes automatic and you don't have to be putzing around with any controls (after initially defining the color profile). Did you not get a manual for your GeForce video card? You could always download one from their web site (http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/6...sers_Guide.pdf); the links are also on that driver download page. -- __________________________________________________ _______________ Post your replies to the newsgroup.

Maybe you need just to do gamma correction of your photos.

what software are you vieving the photos in? adjusting the computer or
vidcard per photo is kinda like making DOT make the road rougher because your tires are bald. any viewing software should be at least able to adjust brightness/darkness per image. -- "Display tolerance & kindness to those with less knowledge than you because there is ALWAYS someone with more" "JJ" wrote in message i.nl...

Actually, You might be better served to use a picture editor (Even Irfan
viewer (Free)) to adhust the darker photos. The ultimate idea is to get the display adjusted to "standard" settings that give you a decent display of photos and applications without adjusting anything. There are "reference standard" calibration photos available on the web that allow you to adjust displays and printers . http://www.inkjetart.com/custom/ A link to a couple of these reference photos. Do not change the reference photos after downloading them with a photo editor, or you will defeat the purpose of using them as a reference.. You can also use the photos as they are to adjust printers. "JJ" wrote in message i.nl...
