contrast adjustment

Contrast adjustment involves changing the difference between the darkest and lightest parts of an image. Increasing contrast makes shadows darker and highlights brighter, which can make the image appear more vivid and dynamic. Decreasing contrast reduces this difference, resulting in a softer, more muted look. It helps improve image clarity, emphasize details, or create a specific mood. This adjustment is common in photography and displays, allowing for better visual storytelling or functional enhancement of images.
