Maximum Gain. For scenes with high dynamic range (that is, wide 14-bit histogram), the maximum gain
parameter has little effect. For a very bland scene, on the other hand, it can significantly affect the
contrast of the resulting image. Figure 17 provides an example.
(a)
Maximum Gain =
6
(b)
Maximum Gain =
24
(c) 8bit Histogram for Max. Gain =
6
(d) 8bit Histogram for Max. Gain =
24

(Notice more details but also greater fixed-pattern noise in the right image.)
