View source for VLC HowTo/Adjust image settings

{{howto|adjust image settings including brightness and contrast|nosort=yes}}

== Graphical ==
Graphical approaches are the easiest but also the most variable because you have to look in different places depending on your [[interface]]. What this approach will do is globally change the hue, brightness, contrast, saturation or gamma for ''every'' video you play in VLC, perhaps for color-correction purposes. If you want to play a single video with different image settings, you should look at the [[command line]] approach.

Older versions of VLC required different steps (VLC versions <= 0.9.0 used [[wxWidgets Interface]]).
'''Modern VLC installations for Windows and Linux use [[Qt interface|Qt]], Mac installations use the OS X interface.'''

=== Qt Interface ===
# In the menu bar, select "Tools" and then "Effects and Filters".
# Select the "Video Effects" tab and then "Essential" subtab.
# Tick the "Image adjust" checkbox and move the slider for the setting you want to change.
# Hue, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Gamma may be adjusted.
Changes take effect immediately for every video.

=== OS X Interface ===

== Command-line ==
