The Auto Contrast command
The Auto Contrast command adjusts image contrast automatically. Because Auto Contrast does not adjust channels
individually, it does not introduce or remove color casts. It clips the shadow and highlight values in an image and
then maps the remaining lightest and darkest pixels in the image to pure white (level 255) and pure black (level 0).
This makes the highlights appear lighter and shadows appear darker.
By default, when identifying the lightest and darkest pixels in an image, Auto Contrast clips the white and black pixels
by 0.5%—that is, it ignores the first 0.5% of either extreme. You can change this default using the Auto Color
Correction Options found in the Levels and the Curves dialog boxes.
Auto Contrast can improve the appearance of many photographic or continuous-tone images. It does not improve
flat-color images.
