Notes

Use BlasterControl Color to adjust the colors of your screen display.

All monitors display colors slightly differently from other monitors.  Manufacturing differences, lighting conditions, ambient temperature and color fluctuations all affect the way you see the color on your screen.

To set the display color settings back to the factory default settings, click the Factory Default button.
Your display color balance, contrast and brightness levels will revert to the default settings.


To select test graphics

In the Test Graphics list box, select a test graphics item.

Tips

Test graphics are provided to help you adjust the color of your display.

Experiment with the Test Graphics items and familiarize yourself with the consequent effects of adjustments.
Test graphics show you immediately the effects of the adjustments you make.


To select the target color

In the Target Color list box, select the color component.

Note

If you select All (Red+Green+Blue) as the target color, Gamma correction, contrast and brightness adjustments will be duplicated uniformly for all the individual colors.


To adjust the gamma correction, contrast and brightness

To get the amount of Gamma correction, contrast or brightness you want, move the corresponding slider left (to decrease) or right (to increase).

The following describes the options available:

This Option	Allows You To

Gamma Correction	Change the intermediate color intensity on the screen.
Use Gamma correction to adjust the color tonal balance.

Contrast	Change the relationship between light and dark elements of the display.
A high contrast image is stark, like a black-and-white tiled floor.  A low contrast image is muted and "washed-out", as if the scene is viewed through a fog.

Brightness	Change the amount of light that is emitted by the display.

Note

If you select All (Red+Green+Blue) as the target color, Gamma correction, contrast and brightness adjustments will be duplicated uniformly for all the individual colors.

To set the display color settings back to the factory default settings, click the Factory Default button.
Your display color balance, contrast and brightness levels will revert to the default settings.
