• Example 2) To correct an overexposed or
underexposed image:
If the image in overexposed, move the left
point to the right so that it is aligned with
the left end of the histogram peaks.
If the image in underexposed, move the
right point to the left so that it is aligned with
the right end of the histogram peaks.
You can then adjust the overall image
brightness by moving the middle point left
or right.
• Example 3) To boost the contrast in an
image:
If an image is lacking in contrast, the
histogram peaks are concentrated toward
to the center. By aligning the left and right
points with the respective ends of the
3
histogram peaks, you can create an image
with clearly defined bright and dark areas.
You can then adjust the overall image
brightness by moving the middle point left
or right.
