  <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves.  ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems.  The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

<div class="doc-section">

<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 vertial gradient image can be used.</p></ol>

<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></ol>

<p>When the 'channel' mask includes the matte/alpha transparency channel but one image has no such channel it is assumed that 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></ol>

<p>The 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></ol>

<div class="doc-section">

<p>ModulateImage() lets you control the brightness, saturation, and hue of an image.  Modulate represents the brightness, saturation, and hue as one parameter (e.g. 90,150,100).  If the image colorspace is HSL, the modulation is lightness, saturation, and hue.  And if the colorspace is HWB, use blackness, whiteness, and hue.</p></ol>

<p>The format of the ModulateImage method is:</p>

<pre class="code">
  MagickBooleanType ModulateImage(Image *image,const char *modulate)
</pre>

<p>A description of each parameter follows:</p></ol>

<h5>image</h5>
<ol><p>the image.</p></ol>

<h5>modulate</h5>

<div class="doc-section">

<p>SigmoidalContrastImage() adjusts the contrast of an image with a non-linear sigmoidal contrast algorithm.  Increase the contrast of the image using a sigmoidal transfer function without saturating highlights or shadows. Contrast indicates how much to increase the contrast (0 is none; 3 is typical; 20 is pushing it); mid-point indicates where midtones fall in the resultant image (0 is white; 50 is middle-gray; 100 is black).  Set sharpen to MagickTrue to increase the image contrast otherwise the contrast is reduced.</p></ol>
