<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/enhance_8c.html" id="ClutImage">ClutImage</a></h2>
<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 vertical gradient image can be used.</p>
<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>
<p>When the 'channel' mask includes the matte/alpha transparency channel but one image has no such channel it is assumed 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>

<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/enhance_8c.html" id="ContrastStretchImage">ContrastStretchImage</a></h2>
<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>

<p>The parameters provided represent the black, and white points. The black point specifies the darkest color in the image. Colors darker than the black point are set to zero. White point specifies the lightest color in the image. Colors brighter than the white point are set to the maximum quantum value.</p>

<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>
<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>

<p>If the boolean 'invert' is set true the image values will modified in the reverse direction. That is any existing "black" and "white" colors in the image will become the color values given, with all other values compressed appropriatally.
