PREFERENCES DIALOG BOX: DISPLAY TAB
The Display tab allows you to modify the way images are displayed as well as
calibrate (adjust) your monitor. You should calibrate whenever you change monitor,
display adapters or the environment in which you work as lighting and temperature can
also affect a monitor’s performance.
1. Hi-Color dithering allows you to improve the display of True Color images when
you are in Hi-Color display mode.
2. View images with a common palette displays all images using the system
palette. This is only enabled when you are in 256-Color display mode and makes
your work more efficient as there is no need to repaint any of the images with a new
palette. This option is particularly useful when preparing CD-ROM based titles and
you need to see how images appear in 256-Color display modes.
3. Ignore background quality is enabled when in 256-Color display mode and
improves performance by not repainting any background images when you change
views. (Do not check this option if you need to identify background images.)
4. Monitor gamma allows you to calibrate your monitor for the optimum display of
images. Follow the procedure over to correctly calibrate your monitor.
