how the selected setting affects the image material.
Brightness/Contrast
Brightness: Use the sliders to reduce or increase the objects' brightness.
Selective brightness (gamma): “Gamma” determines the mean gray scale that
can be calculated from the various color ranges. "Selective brightness" is the

various envelope curves to edit only the dark, median, or brightest areas of the
image.
Using the fader you can also set the power of the brightness/darkness
adjustments.
Contrast: You can increase or lower the object's contrast.
Color space correction: This option is effective against powerful colors that
violate TV standards and can no longer be displayed correctly on-screen. The
color saturation of the affected material is thereby reduced until the maximum
permitted value is reached.
