Four test patterns are concurrently displayed on a display of a computer. The test patterns include respective backgrounds and contrast areas. The test patterns, different from each other in pixel value, have identically shaped contrast areas. The contrast between the background and the contrast area remains unchanged from test pattern to test pattern. The contrast areas are adjusted in contrast with the pixel value of the background fixed until the test patterns look the same.
