QuickGamma is a utility program designed to calibrate a monitor quickly without the need for buying any hardware tools.The relationship between the input signal and the luminance of a monitor is not linear but exponential with gamma being the exponent. Monitor gamma values usually range between 1.4 and 3.2. Because only a gamma value of 1 resembles a linear relationship, a gamma correction is necessary to achieve maximum reproduction quality. A monitor gamma value of 2.2 has become the de facto standard for Windows, the Internet and the digital photography. Under Windows a gamma correction is already automatically applied. This yields a linear luminance distribution for monitors with a real gamma of 2.2. Because most computer monitors do not have a real gamma of 2.2 an additional correction is required. With QuickGamma you can calibrate your monitor to a gamma value of 2.2 which in conjunction with the automatic gamma correction yields a linear luminance distribution for every monitor.

Program Does Exactly What It Says.
This is freeware at its best. Earlier versions of Windows failed to include an easy User-Accessible Gamma adjustment (an adjustment which allows one to control visual detail in shadows). If you have problems discerning dark details in images, if dark or shadowed areas of images just look like big black blobs, this program might be what you're looking for. This program provides an easy slider control for the gamma adjustment.
