Brightness is an attribute of visual perception
in which a source appears to be radiating or
reecting light. In other words, brightness is the
perception elicited by the luminance of a visual
target.
Contrast is the difference in luminance or color
that makes an object (or its representation
in an image or display) distinguishable. In
visual perception of the real world, contrast is
determined by the difference in the color and
brightness of the object and other objects within
the same eld of view.
The Sharpening lter (not represented in
Preview) is a powerful tool for emphasizing
texture and drawing viewer focus. It’s also
required of any digital photo at some point —
whether you’re aware it’s been applied or not.
Digital camera sensors and lenses always blur an image to some degree, for example, and this
requires correction. However, not all sharpening techniques are created equal. When performed too
aggressively, unsightly sharpening artifacts may appear. On the other hand, when done correctly,
sharpening can often improve apparent image quality even more so than upgrading to a high-end
camera lens (http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/image-sharpening.htm).
y None – does not apply any sharpening to the image.
y Low – applies some sharpening to the image.
y Normal – (default) apples a degree of sharpening that, while noticeable, is not unsightly.
y High – applies a degree of sharpening that is noticeable and may seem unsightly. This can
also be a purposeful effect.
The Preheat (not represented in Preview) function controls the intensity of the color panel image.
The higher the value, the darker the image and vice versa. Values range from -50 to 50, default = 0
