User's Guide

The Contrast filter is a simple transform filter that adjusts the contrast of an 8-bit palletized video stream that is passed through it. It provides a custom interface for adjusting the contrast. The Contrast filter also uses the CBasePropertyPage class to provide a property page for applications that do not provide a user interface.

The Contrast filter adjusts the contrast by manipulating the image palette. By changing the palette, the filter changes the contrast without changing the image pixels themselves.
