6.9.4.1 - Increasing & Decreasing Contrast
You can use the pairs of left-right arrows at either end of the Palette Bar to increase or decrease the displayed
data range (i.e. ‘shrink’ or ‘stretch’ the scale on the palette) and thereby alter the contrast of the data shown in
Image display mode. You can also use the + and – keys to do the same function.

Data Range
By holding down the left-right arrows at either end of the Palette Bar you can alter the minimum and maximum
values in the displayed data range independently of each other, and so adjust the contrast to the level you
require. As you hold down the arrows (place the cursor over an arrow button and hold down the primary mouse
button), observe carefully how the scale changes and how the displayed data range is affected. If you wish to
undo your changes, use Rescale.
NOTE: When the left-right arrows are held down for a time, you will see the display flash periodically as
the system performs the contrast adjustment. These flashes occur as the system refreshes the color
palette to cover your new displayed data range. Hold the arrows down until you reach your required
contrast level.
