ATI Color Tab: RADEON™ X800 SE User's Guide


ATI Color Tab


The ATI Color tab allows you to configure Gamma, Brightness, and Contrast color settings for both your desktop and full screen 3D environments. You can also save settings to a color profile for easy recall. In addition, you can assign unique hotkey combinations that allow you to adjust Gamma, Brightness, and Contrast color settings within your full screen 3D applications.

The ATI Color Tab

ATI Color Tab

Desktop radio button

Select Desktop to configure your desktop color settings.

Full Screen 3D radio button

Select Full Screen 3D to configure the color settings for your 3D application. Note that the configured settings will only be apparent within a full screen 3D application environment.

Profiles for

Indicates whether the profiles in the drop-down list are for your Desktop or a Full Screen 3D environment.

Profiles drop-down list

Lists all of the Desktop or Full Screen 3D profiles that you have saved. Selecting a profile from the list loads those custom color settings for the relevant environment. To create a new profile, simply type in a name and click Save.

Save button

Saves your current color settings to a Desktop or Full Screen 3D profile, using the name you specified in the list box. To restore these settings later, simply select the Profile name from the list and click Apply or OK.

Delete button

Deletes the profile that is selected in the Profiles list box.

Gamma slider

Increases or decreases the gamma correction of your Desktop or full screen 3D application. Changing the gamma alters the curvature of the color curve.

Brightness slider

Increases or decreases the color brightness of your Desktop or full screen 3D application. Changing the brightness adjusts the vertical position of the color curve.

Contrast slide

Increases or decreases the color contrast of your Desktop or full screen 3D application. Changing the contrast adjusts the slope of the color curve.

Reset buttons

Restores an individual slider setting to its default value. Click Apply or OK to save.

Color preview box

The color image indicates visually how the Gamma, Brightness and Contrast sliders affect the final color settings of your display device. In Desktop mode, clicking on this with your mouse pointer will change the image.

Hotkeys button

Opens the Color Hotkeys Settings dialog. There you can assign hotkeys for adjusting your color settings within a full screen 3D application environment. To activate this button, you must select the Full Screen 3D radio button.

Defaults button

Restores all of the color settings to the default values. Click Apply or OK to save.

Color Curve box

The color curve indicates mathematically how the Gamma, Brightness and Contrast sliders affect the final color settings of your display device.

To create a Desktop or Full Screen 3D profile

  1. Choose either the Desktop or Full Screen 3D radio button, as desired.
  2. Adjust the Gamma, Brightness, and Contrast sliders to the desired settings, either individually or using the All Colors checkbox.
  3. Type a profile name in the Profile list box.
  4. Click Save.

To apply the settings for a specific Desktop profile

  1. Choose the Desktop radio button.
  2. Select the profile name from the drop-down list box.
  3. Click Apply or OK.

To apply the settings for a Full Screen 3D profile

  1. Choose the Full Screen 3D radio button.
  2. Select the profile name from the drop-down list box.
  3. Click Apply or OK.
  4. Start your 3D application in full-screen mode.

Hotkeys

Some 3D applications automatically load their own color settings rather than those set through the ATI Color tab. To use custom settings, you can preconfigure hotkey combinations to either adjust the individual color properties or apply profiles you have created, once the 3D application is running.

The Color Hotkey Settings dialog

To access the Color Hotkeys Settings dialog

  1. Select the Full Screen 3D radio button.
  2. Click the Hotkeys button to access the Color Hotkeys Settings dialog.

Note: For the steps used to assign hot keys, refer to the Color Hotkeys Settings section.

The easiest way to apply your own color settings from within a full screen 3D application is to create a Full Screen 3D profile and save it, assign hotkeys for the "Load Current Profile" action through the Hotkeys dialog, make sure that the profile you prefer is selected from the drop-down list box, and click OK. Once inside the 3D application, use the hotkeys to trigger the profile.

Some 3D applications allow you to switch easily between full-screen mode and windowed mode, and do not load their own color settings. In windowed mode, you can make slider adjustments or select a different profile on the Color tab, then switch back to full-screen mode to see the effects immediately.
