    145 
    146 <p>ClutImage() replaces each color value in the given image, by using it as an index to lookup a replacement color value in a Color Look UP Table in the form of an image.  The values are extracted along a diagonal of the CLUT image so either a horizontal or vertial gradient image can be used.</p>
    147 
    148 <p>Typically this is used to either re-color a gray-scale image according to a color gradient in the CLUT image, or to perform a freeform histogram (level) adjustment according to the (typically gray-scale) gradient in the CLUT image.</p>
    149 
    150 <p>When the 'channel' mask includes the matte/alpha transparency channel but one image has no such channel it is assumed that that image is a simple gray-scale image that will effect the alpha channel values, either for gray-scale coloring (with transparent or semi-transparent colors), or a histogram adjustment of existing alpha channel values.   If both images have matte channels, direct and normal indexing is applied, which is rarely used.</p>

    264 <p>ContrastStretchImage() is a simple image enhancement technique that attempts to improve the contrast in an image by 'stretching' the range of intensity values it contains to span a desired range of values. It differs from the more sophisticated histogram equalization in that it can only apply a linear scaling function to the image pixel values.  As a result the 'enhancement' is less harsh.</p>
