What is Image Contrast?

Image contrast refers to the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of an image. High contrast images have a greater difference between light and dark areas, making them appear more dramatic and defined. Low contrast images have less difference between light and dark areas, resulting in a softer, more muted appearance.

Technical Details

Applying the formula: new_value = ((original_value - 128) × factor) + 128
Processing each color channel (red, green, blue) independently
Preserving the alpha channel for transparency
