Using redshift to adjust the brightness

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I adjust the brightness of my screen with xrandr --output LVDS-1 --brightness 0.75, because the range of my physical backlight is not enough. Now I want to use Redshift. So what happened is, if redshift is running I can't override the brightness via xrandr.



I tried to change the redshift.conf file, which is loaded at the program start, during the program is running but it has no effect. The parameter for brightness isn't read again after the file changed. So my question is how can I change the brightness parameter in redshift during the program is running? Do I have to restart redshift?
