EqualizeBrightness Method of the ImageDocument Object

This method equalizes the image brightness. This method is suitable for the following types of images:

  • Scanned images of black-and-white documents. You can change the background color of a scanned image from gray to white and increase image contrast.
  • Photos of black-and-white document. You can change the background color of a photo to white, increase image contrast, and even brightness of a photo made under poor lighting conditions or with a flash turned on.
  • Photos of color documents. The method provides the same effect as for photos of black-and-white documents, but it may reduce color brightness and make gray elements too light. Use the method for photos of color documents carefully.

Important! This method can be used for gray and color images only.
