BrightnessContrast Class

This class enables you to correct brightness and contrast of the image.

Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic

Public NotInheritable Class BrightnessContrast _
	Inherits PerChannelBitmapTransform

public sealed class BrightnessContrast : PerChannelBitmapTransform

Remarks

This class provides simple brightness and contrast adjustment functionality. Being extremely easy-to-use for end user, it is used by professional retouchers very seldom (because as usual it leads to losses of details in highlights and/or shadows).

It provides two parameters - brightness modifier (BrightnessAmount property) and contrast modifier (ContrastAmount property).

If you want to modify only brightness or contrast, you can use Brightness or Contrast transform. It will work slightly faster.

Examples

Visual Basic

Dim brightnessContrast As New Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.BrightnessContrast
brightnessContrast.BrightnessAmount = 0.2F
brightnessContrast.ContrastAmount = -0.1F
brightnessContrast.ApplyTransform(bitmap)

Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.BrightnessContrast brightnessContrast = 
    new Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms.BrightnessContrast();
brightnessContrast.BrightnessAmount = 0.2f;
brightnessContrast.ContrastAmount = -0.1f;
brightnessContrast.ApplyTransform(bitmap);

Supported Pixel Formats

Member Name	Description
Format8bppGrayScale	8 bits per pixel. Grayscale. 8 bits are used for luminosity level.
Format16bppGrayScale	16 bits per pixel. Grayscale. All 16 bits are used for luminosity level (extended pixel format).
Format16bppAGrayScale	16 bits per pixel. Grayscale with alpha channel. 8 bits are used for alpha channel and other 8 bits are used for luminosity level.
Format32bppAGrayScale	32 bits per pixel. Grayscale with alpha channel. 16 bits are used for alpha channel and other 16 bits are used for luminosity level (extended pixel format).
Format24bppRgb	24 bits per pixel. RGB. 8 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components.
Format32bppRgb	32 bits per pixel. RGB. 8 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components. The rest 8 bits are unused.
Format32bppArgb	32 bits per pixel. RGB with alpha channel. 8 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components.
Format48bppRgb	48 bits per pixel. RGB. 16 bits each are used for the red, green, and blue components (extended pixel format).
Format64bppArgb	64 bits per pixel. RGB with alpha channel. 16 bits each are used for the alpha, red, green, and blue components (extended pixel format).
Format32bppCmyk	32 bits per pixel. CMYK. 8 bits each are used for the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black components.
Format64bppCmyk	64 bits per pixel. CMYK. 16 bits each are used for the cyan, magenta, yellow, and black components (extended pixel format).
Format80bppAcmyk	80 bits per pixel. CMYK with alpha channel. 16 bits each are used for the alpha, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black components (extended pixel format).
