Softpedia Editor's Review for DarkAdapted
|
A free gamma control application program with high-resolution sliders
Written by Bogdan Popa on February 13th, 2012
DarkAdapted is a very easy to use gamma control application that provides a user friendly interface to configure screen gamma settings with just a few clicks.
Although this may sound like rocket science for some of the users, DarkAdapted makes everything very easy to use, providing a basic interface to help them in this regard.
There are multiple presets included in the app, such as full brightness, full, bright and dark red, but you can also create your very own configuration profiles and change them in a few seconds.
The main window lets you adjust red, green and blue video components in real time, with a dedicated hotkey available to restore full brightness at any given moment.
DarkAdapted also boasts a small configuration screen where you can find a few handy options, such as gamma toggle keys, gamma fades, Internet update checking and help tags.
As said, the user has the power to create his very own presets by providing different color values for red, green and blue. Each preset can be then saved separately and loaded straight from the main screen.
Just as expected, DarkAdapted has absolutely no problem to run on any Windows version on the market, but Windows 7 users need administrator privileges to apply the changes. Plus, it can work on very low hardware resources, so older machines can use it without any risk.
All in all, DarkAdapted is undoubtedly a handy software solution and the fact that it provides such a user friendly interface makes it appropriate for any type of user.
