If can also be used to increase the +colour temperature and make the monitor bluer, +this helps you focus on your work. + +Blueshift is inspired by Redshift but is vastly +more flexible and solves some problems with Redshift: + + - Decreases the colour temperature too early + during the winter which can make you tired + during daytime. + + - Limited support for settings such as + brightness and contrast. Technologies like + Blueshift and Redshift needs to remove + all settings made by other programs which + means that you cannot any other program + at the same time. Redshift supports only + gamman and a limited brightness range. + Blueshift can be extended by the user to + do anything and have built in support for + unlimited brightness, contrast, gamma + correction and S-curve correction. + Brightness and contrast are normally not + important because you should configure + that on the monitors control panel. But + one may want to temporarly so a change + to contrast to increase the brightness + beyond 100 %. Blueshift is to might + knowledge the first program to support + S-curve correction which is important + for LCD monitors which suffers the effects + of S-curves. + -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
