This page describes how to set specific brightness or contrast for a file. | Other "how to" pages |
First open Command Prompt/cmd.exe. A quick way of doing this is to go to:
Start >> Run. Then enter "cmd" and press Enter/OK.
Assuming you have VLC installed, to do it in one line, you can do something like:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe [options] FILE
Where [options] are the command line parameters and FILE is the location of the file you wish to play.
For a two-line method, which is potentially faster for doing multiple instances etc.:
cd C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC vlc [options] FILE
The commandline parameters for image properties are as follows:
Image properties filter --contrast <float> Image contrast (0-2) --brightness <float> Image brightness (0-2) --hue <integer> Image hue (0-360) --saturation <float> Image saturation (0-3) --gamma <float> Image gamma (0-10) --brightness-threshold, --no-brightness-threshold Brightness threshold (default disabled)
The image adjust filter needs to be enabled so use:
--video-filter adjust
To enable it.
Here is an example:
vlc --video-filter adjust --brightness 1.8 --contrast 1.5 FILE
