Brightness Adjusts the black level of the image.
Contrast Adjusts the white level of the image.
Saturation Adjusts the intensity of the image colors.
Sharpness Adjusts the edge sharpness of image elements. Keep in mind that increasing
sharpness in a moving image will create more noise, resulting in a larger bit
stream and saved file size.
Gamma Adjusts the amount of gamma correction applied to the image. Use fine
adjustments to accent darker areas of the image.
