Contraste Kontrast, m Contraste Contrasts happen when colors are paired in such a way that each intensifies the other. The strongest contrasts are the result of putting together complementary colors. Contrasts of tone and temperature also exist.

The difference in light intensity in an object or image; defined as (Imax - Imin)/(Imax + Imin), where Imax and Imin are the maximum and minimum intensities.
Helpful?           0
A measure of the relative intensity differences within an image. A low contrast image may be dark (a foggy night), or bright (a foggy day); a high contrast image has bright and dark areas. The difference between an image's lightest and darkest grey level value.

Helpful?           0
The relationship between the lightest and darkest areas in a scene and/or photograph. A small difference means low contrast; a great difference high contrast. High contrast scenes usually cause the most exposure problems; however, their difficulty can mean they hold the potential for more expression. Though contrast is often linked with scene brightness, there can be low contrast in a bright scene and high contrast in dim light. Contrast can also describe attributes of color, composition, and inherent qualities of film.

Contrast is the difference between the brightest bright and the darkest dark in your digital photo. If your digital photos have too much contrast it will cause a loss of delicate shadings and shadows. Whereas too little contrast leaves your photos muddy.

Comparison in order to distinguish differences. In radiology, the visual differentiability of variations in photographic or film density produced on a radiograph by the structural composition of the object or objects radiographed.

the relationship between light and dark areas of an image. The more extreme the difference, the greater the contrast.
Helpful?           0
This is the difference in reflectance between the black and white (or bar and space) areas of a symbol.
Helpful?           0
contrast can be defined as the relative difference of the signal intensities in two adjacent regions. If the two intensities are Ia and Ib, a useful quantitative definition of contrast is (Ia-Ib)/(Ia+Ib). Relating image contrast to object contrast is more difficult in magnetic resonance imaging than in conventional radiography, as there are more object parameters affecting the image and their relative contributions are very dependent on the particular imaging technique used.
Helpful?           0
Contrast is the visible difference in brightness from the darkest color to the lightest.
Helpful?           0
The difference in light and dark tones on a negative, slide or photo. This applies mostly to black and white prints.
Helpful?           0
The contrast ratio indicates how much brighter an image is at the projection of 100% white and 100% black. A high contrast ratio leads to brilliant, luminous images.
Helpful?           0
The amount of separation of tones in a photograph. The quantitative difference between light and dark.
Helpful?           0
The difference of tonal gradation between light and dark values within an image. A high-contrast image is predominantly highlights and shadows with a few gray tones. A low contrast image has few highlights and shadows with predominantly even tones. Image contrast is sacrificed somewhat when tones are compressed to bring an original's density down to a range that can be reproduced on a printing press.

Helpful?           0
The difference between the lightest and the darkest areas of an image. The greater the difference, the higher the contrast.
Helpful?           0
The relationship between the light and dark areas of an image. Contrast is the range between the darkest and lightest shades in an image, while brightness is the balance of light and dark shades. Contrast determines the number of shades; brightness determines the intensity of the shades. An image with low contrast tends to look dull and flat.

Helpful?           0
The degree of density difference between tones in an image or the ratio between the maximum and minimum brightness values. A high contrast image will have deep or intense blacks and detailed or spectral whites which may or may not include a full range of middle value tones. A low contrast image is generally an image with all its tones placed in the short middle values and may only contain various shades of grey.
Helpful?           0
An option available from the Image Menu (sub) Adjust (sub) Brightness/Contrast. Contrast correction is useful for varying the difference between light and dark areas. Increasing the contrast makes the dark shades darker and the highlights lighter at the same time causing more contrast between the two.

Demonstrate how things are different
Helpful?           0
The actual difference in density between the highlights and the shadows on a negative or positive. Contrast is not concerned with the magnitude of density, but only with the difference in densities.

The contrast is the degree of difference between the dark and the light areas of a scene or photograph. High contrast photographs are a result of high contrast lighting, where there are sharp differences in the dark and light, and less in between. High contrast lighting can be achieved with both direct and bounced light that is not softened or diffused, but often reflected from a bright silver surface.
