An alternative to Night Shift is F.lux. F.lux will give you the light coloring balance. It does make the assumption that your monitor's description is accurate, and it specifically assumes that the color balance information in your monitor description is accurate.
(Side note: Why does there seem to be no programs that let you edit/modify an ICC profile to fix problems like that? When I use a temperature balance on my calibration, I'm making the adjustments to fix blue shift on the monitor to fit a 5500 light temperature, even if I wound up dragging the slider to the 3700 label. Why does the calibrator want to mis-label the resultant profile based on the slider and not my actual lighting?) F.lux will work on any monitor, even externals. In contrast, night shift will sometimes work both monitors, and sometimes only my internal. Think of F.lux as "night shift plus automations. We hope you like the automations. We don't give you any real control over what happens when. We assume that sunset is the right time to change things once (because you rely on either sunlight or yellow lamps, we don't believe in sunlight lamps), or that a fixed number of hours before your specified wakeup time is the next time to change (and we'll use a different, redder set of colors because hey, you should be going to bed now). We assume that all your monitors adjust together -- don't blame us if one is now redder than the other, that's your ICC not recording the temperature of one of them properly, and the ICC must be right." _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] https://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
