Enhancing

Enhancing provides low-level image manipulation to brighten, darken, change contrast, gamma, hue and saturation plus special effects to soften, sharpen or enhance edges.

Make broad changes with the sliders then increment or decrement with the arrows and apply. Clicking next to the slider's drag handle will make 5 point changes.

  • Brightness - (-100 to 100) Values from -1 to -100 make the movie darker, those from 1 to 100 make it brighter.
  • Contrast  - (-100 to 100) Negative values will decrease the contrast within the movie (colors will shift towards gray) while positive values will increase it.
  • Gamma - (1 to 500) Values below 100 make the movie darker, values above 1 make it brighter.
  • Hue  - Number of degrees (-180..180) to shift colors. This enhancement has no effect on shades of gray including black and white.
  • Saturation - Percent of saturation from -100 to 100. Positive values make the colors richer, while negative values reduce the amount of color in the movie. The value of -100 removes all color information and produces grayscale images within the movie.
  • Soften - Makes the images within the movie smoother by applying low intensity pixel averaging.
  • Sharpen - Increases visibility of details of the images within the movie.
  • Edge Enhance - Enhances the edges of objects within movie frames.
