Image for Gamma Correction

Gamma Correction

Gamma correction is a process used in imaging and video to adjust the brightness and contrast of images. It helps ensure that the way we perceive brightness aligns with how screens display it. Human eyes perceive light in a nonlinear way, meaning we see changes in darker areas differently than in brighter ones. Gamma correction modifies the brightness levels so that details in both dark and bright parts of an image are visible and consistent across displays. This makes images appear more natural and true to life, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
