Using the Transfer Function in a Histogram

In a Histogram, you can click and drag the Transfer function to do the following.

 

A

Adjust brightness by clicking and dragging horizontally (left to increase, right to decrease).

B

Adjust contrast by clicking and dragging vertically (up to increase, down to decrease).

 

 

If you adjust the brightness, contrast, and gamma controls, the Transfer function curve will change.
