Auto-repeat key to change contrast?
in [Mac Systems]

From: Salmon Egg on 8 Feb 2010 02:06 Very few photos are posted that are truly exposed and processed correctly. The combination of Control-option-command with a comma or period [< or >] will respectively decrease or increase contrast by one step. Unfortunately, this combination will not auto-repeat. Is there a simple way to have this combination auto-repeat? There are many pictures for which no amount of contyrast change will be helpful.

Which makes me wonder what the point is anyway. But seriously, I have to wonder if your display is correctly calibrated. If it's not, that could explain why so many pictures you see need correction. -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

If the pictures are repeatedly viewed an option is to open them in Preview, adjust the contrast, and then save. The contrast adjustment is one of the several adjustments available in the "Adjust Color..." option available by selecting "Tools" in the menubar. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

It sure is not the end of the world. In addition tho photographs, I have some vision problems. I find it useful to switch into inverse video. some things,such as the separators in the Finder column view format disappear if the contrast is off. The same is true for the cell borders in Excel. While it is not the end of the world, it is annoying to press the key six times in a row in one direction for one picture and then eight tines in a row in the other direction for the next picture.

Isn't it more likely that the problem is a combination of gamma mismatch between the photo editor's screen and the viewer's, plus poor handling of embedded color profiles (assuming the image even has one) by many browsers?
