Brightness And Contrast Tool (Native Color Mode Only) - Microtek ArtixScan 120tf Reference Manual

Brightness and Contrast tool (Native Color Mode only)

The Brightness & Contrast tool lets you control the brightness and contrast
levels of the entire image. Increasing the brightness makes all tones in the image
lighter. Contrast, on the other hand, is the range between the darkest and
lightest shades in the image, and increasing the contrast makes greater
separation between the darkest and lightest areas of the image.
NOTE : Individual channel adjustments for brightness and contrast are not supported.
For RGB color images, the same effect applies to all channels. For Lab color images,
brightness and contrast applies only to the L (Lightness) channel.
