Minolta DiMAGE Viewer instruction manual

By moving the shadow slider to the right to set the black level to where the pixel distribution begins, image contrast is improved.

The gamma slider can be used to change the relative distribution of the tones in the image. By mov- ing the gamma slider to the left toward the shadows, the image becomes lighter. By moving the gamma slider in the opposite direction, the image becomes darker. However, unlike the brightness control in the brightness, contrast, and color-balance palette (p. 33), details are not lost in the shad- ows or highlights.
