Gamma Curve Visualizer

What is Gamma (γ) in image science?

Basically in images, just tone response

• Controls how brightness is encoded
• Used in cameras, displays, editing software
• JPG/JPEG images are all encoded in gamma
• Nonlinear → matches human vision
• Human vision sees detail in shadows but not so much detail in highlights
• This visualizer shows how midtones shift with gamma ^_^
