enable cusom gamma table,
select "Image intensity" (should be selected automatically)
press the "gamma" button (4. from the top) and enter 1 in the input-window.
select "Red intensity"
press the "gamma" button and enter 1 in the input-window.
select "Green intensity"
press the "gamma" button and enter 1 in the input-window.
select "Blue intensity"
press the "gamma" button and enter 1 in the input-window.

Then try again, now everything should be "normal" dark.

select "Image intensity"
press the "gamma" button and enter 1.5 in the input-window.

Then try again, now the image should be a bit birghter!

You can enter any positive value you like, interesting values
are (normally) between 0.5 and 2.0, but you also may enter 4.0
or 0.1 if you like or need it.

Bye
Oliver
