figure 1: The Picture Adjustment Control

Picture is related to contrast and can be very useful when used in conjunction with it. Those of you familiar with desktop publishing may know of it as Gamma. Picture affects the way that the middle parts of an image (in terms of brightness) relate to the darkest and brightest. As you move the Picture Adjust control towards the bottom of its range, you are moving the middle areas closer and closer in brightness to the darker areas of the image. In other words except for the brightest areas, the rest of the image grows darker. As you move the setting towards +50, just the opposite occurs: except for the darkest areas, the rest of the image grows brighter.
