355 <div class="doc-section">
357 <p>ClutImage() replaces each color value in the given image, by using it as an index to lookup a replacement color value in a Color Look UP Table in the form of an image. The values are extracted along a diagonal of the CLUT image so either a horizontal or vertial gradient image can be used.</p>
359 <p>Typically this is used to either re-color a gray-scale image according to a color gradient in the CLUT image, or to perform a freeform histogram (level) adjustment according to the (typically gray-scale) gradient in the CLUT image.</p>
361 <p>When the 'channel' mask includes the matte/alpha transparency channel but one image has no such channel it is assumed that that image is a simple gray-scale image that will effect the alpha channel values, either for gray-scale coloring (with transparent or semi-transparent colors), or a histogram adjustment of existing alpha channel values. If both images have matte channels, direct and normal indexing is applied, which is rarely used.</p>

407 <p>ContrastStretchImage() is a simple image enhancement technique that attempts to improve the contrast in an image by `stretching' the range of intensity values it contains to span a desired range of values. It differs from the more sophisticated histogram equalization in that it can only apply a linear scaling function to the image pixel values. As a result the `enhancement' is less harsh.</p>
409 <p>The format of the ContrastStretchImage method is:</p>

563 <p>LevelizeImage() applies the normal level operation to the image, spreading out the values between the black and white points over the entire range of values. Gamma correction is also applied after the values has been mapped.</p>
565 <p>It is typically used to improve image contrast, or to provide a controlled linear threshold for the image. If the black and white points are set to the minimum and maximum values found in the image, the image can be normalized. or by swapping black and white values, negate the image.</p>

598 <p>LevelizeImageChannel() applies the reversed LevelImage() operation to just the specific channels specified. It compresses the full range of color values, so that they lie between the given black and white points. Gamma is applied before the values are mapped.</p>
600 <p>LevelizeImageChannel() can be called with by using a +level command line API option, or using a '!' on a -level or LevelImage() geometry string.</p>
602 <p>It can be used for example de-contrast a greyscale image to the exact levels specified. Or by using specific levels for each channel of an image you can convert a gray-scale image to any linear color gradient, according to those levels.</p>
