I like using dark themes everywhere and get flashbanged by photos with bright white backgrounds. Is there a quick way to tone down images so they don’t hurt my eyes? I use Linux, Firefox and Redshift.
There used to be a app called twilight for your phone if that’s what you’re looking for that Wood red shift everything and you could dial down the brightness to a arbitrary number
Yeah lower the brightness plus blue light filter
Have you tried the bluelight filter most screens have?
Lots of options, but the simplest is to lower the contrast and brightness values for your monitor. That will work on everything including images and video. You could also consider something like the redmode features of your OS and maybe even look at colour balance settings. If you take the curves and lower the highest bits you will selectively reduce brightness at the highest end without messing with less intense stuff too much. It looks a little weird but is easy enough to get used to.
It’s just a fact of life. I’m similar in that white screens hate me. I use my tablet in the evenings and the blue light filter and ultra dim modes help a lot. Still always an issue on some apps and web pages.
If possible, don’t play in a completely dark room, have a dim light on, so your eyes are not as shocked when hitting a white screen.
