Sharpness
- Sharpness can be defined as edge contrast, that is, the contrast along edges
of an object in the image. When we increase sharpness, we increase the
contrast only along/near edges in the object while leaving smooth areas of
the image alone.
Denoise
-
All cameras produce some form of noise (especially when you increase the
exposure time), the
denoise control
can help eliminate the typical noise that
is picked-up. Be careful, as the more aggressive you set the denoise control,
the more often actual captured data will be removed on your image.
Balance is the key.
Gamma
-
Each pixel in an image has brightness level, called luminance. This value is
between 0 to 1, where 0 means complete darkness (black), and 1 is brightest
(white). Different display devices (monitor, phone screen, TV) do not display
luminance correctly. So, one needs to correct them, therefore the gamma
correction function allows you to brighten the dimmer area for the image or
darken the brighter area of the image.
Contrast -
Contrast is the scale of difference between black and white in your images.
Without contrast you wouldn't have an image because there wouldn't be any
differentiation between light and dark; everything would be black, white, or a
single shade of grey somewhere in between.
Saturation -
Saturation is similar to contrast, however instead of increasing the separation
between shadows and highlights, we increase the separation between colors.
The next three commands will allow us to tweak the colors of the image
further by adjusting the
Red
,
Green
, and
Blue
values.
By using the mouse cursor,
Left-Click-Hold-and-Drag
the slider bar of each of the
Red
,
Green,
and
Blue
controls to produce an image whose colors that meets your requirements.
If after making control adjustment of your image and it looks worse that when you started
(this happens as you slowly learn what controls best work for your system), you can display
click
on the
Default Button
located on the bottom right of the Control window. The
Mallincam HD-10 II will reset all the controls back to their defaults.
