Contrast

Use the Contrast effect to increase or decrease the level of contrast in an image. This is done by changing the contrast in the dark and bright pixels and setting the transition point between dark and bright.

Pixels with colour values lower than the midpoint: These are considered dark pixels.

Pixels with colour values higher than the midpoint: These are considered bright pixels.

Dark Pixel Adjustment and Bright Pixel Adjustment
