3 Implementations for Adaptive Gamma Correction

[fmw42]

Your evaluate pow is the same as -auto-gamma except you use 0.3 and auto-gamma is limited to 0.5. It was my intention that -auto-gamma be modified to have a -define to allow that value (0.5) to be modified. My autogamma script is like your use of evaluate pow. It allows the value to be set as desired.

Did you really mean -sparse-color bilinear and not -sparse-color barycentric? The bilinear option requires 4 points and you only have two.

"-sparse-color bilinear" with only two points gives a linear gradient. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... arse-color

That page says

bilinear
Like barycentric but for 4 points. Less than 4 points fall back to barycentric.

So if two points it would be the same as using barycentric.

The reason I asked was that I kept getting an error in number of argument for -sparse-color bilinear when I only had two points.
