How do I reset color profile back to original?

I was trying to make my screen on my PowerBook G4 brighter.
I instead made the calibration of the colors all wrong.
How do I reset the colors back to the original settings?
Anyone know how to make the screen brighter than what the maximum that the F2 key can do?

I am on Tiger v. 10.4.2

My photos, background, and every window has all the wrong colors. AHH.

Try first this is; Make sure "show profiles for this display only is NOT checked". If it was you should now have some more choices. Maybe one will work for you.

OPTION 2: Start wih the profile you messed up, select it and click "calibrate" CHECK he expert mode button and follow the directions. It's pretty straight forward, you don't need to be an expert to use it. Take your time and you will be able to calibrate your monitor.

Good Luck,
Gary

Have you tried going to APPLE MENU>SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS... Select color at the top of the dialog box and pick one of the standard profiles. Or, you can click "calibrate" and follow the directions.

That's what I did wrong before. I went into system prefernces and calibrated the standard profile. Now I don't know how to get those settings back. There are two options: Color LCD and Color LCD Calibrated. The first one is very dull colors and the second one is the one that I adjusted and messed up. Any ideas???

Thanks! I unchecked the box and got to one of the profiles that works fine.
