Image Adjustments
The Image Adjustments pane is used for applying offset, gain, gamma, and contrast adjustments to monochrome and color images.
Adjustments can be applied to the live image, the live SDI video output, recorded takes, and SLOW files.
Adjustments are stored as metadata, and do not modify the raw pixel values. Image adjustment values for live images, takes, and SSD takes are stored inside the camera. They will persist even if the software is closed and re-opened.
In order for image adjustments for SLOW files to persist after re-opening, the file must be re-saved.
Image adjustments are applied permanently to pixel data when images are saved to file formats other than .SLOW.

| Gain | 0.10 → 10.00 | 1.00 | Multiplies pixel values to adjust the overall brightness |
