MacBook Pro Default display settings

[slyraccoons]

Hiya,

Played around with the display settings and can now not get them back to the way they were!

Anyone who can enlighten me on how to reset the default display settings?

Do you mean you changed the resolution to something lower and now can't get back to the original, native resolution in System Preferences > Displays?

Or do you mean the display settings in Finder or on the Desktop?

What exactly have you changed where? Can you provide screenshots?

Now it is getting embarrassing......I don't know.

The effect is this that the colours are "out" i.e. to strong and the images are coming up with very un-natural skin colours and they are a bit on the fuzzy side....I suspect I have somehow changed the colour calibration. As the Mac has a far greater ability to 'play' with the colour settings, I am now unable to get it back.

The problem was that I was trying some recommended shortcut keys from the Mac Support site, but can't remember which once I used.

The screen resolution I am currently using is 1440x900.

Sorry I'm not very precise, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
