Adjusting & Saving Display Settings?

I have occasion when I adjust the gamma setting (red only) to the maximum
and lower the brightness somewhat on my laptop PC- call it
low-light/night-vision mode. When I'm through using the PC in this
configuration I just go back to color management and select the defaults,
and I'm good to go.


Is there someway I can save my low-light/red-vision preferences so I can
select it next time I need it?

Since I'm running XP could I create another user account with the desired
settings?

Thanks!

That may be a function of the video adapter that is installed on your PC.
It is here. This relatively common NVidia user interface has an option to
save the settings with a "Custom Profile" name, under the COLOR CORRECTION
branch of the file tree.

Depending on who makes your video card/video drivers, you might already have a
"custom display profile" section in the video drivers. I know that nVidia
allows you to have several different profiles (usually for different games.)


If your video drivers do not a "custom display profile" section; you can
allows try/look on Powerstrip's web site:
