695<p>The NormalizeImage() method enhances the contrast of a color image by mapping the darkest 2 percent of all pixel to black and the brightest 1 percent to white.</p>
696
697<p>The format of the NormalizeImage method is:</p>
698
699<pre class="code">
700 MagickBooleanType NormalizeImage(Image *image)
701 MagickBooleanType NormalizeImageChannel(Image *image,
702 const ChannelType channel)

717<p>SigmoidalContrastImage() adjusts the contrast of an image with a non-linear sigmoidal contrast algorithm. Increase the contrast of the image using a sigmoidal transfer function without saturating highlights or shadows. Contrast indicates how much to increase the contrast (0 is none; 3 is typical; 20 is pushing it); mid-point indicates where midtones fall in the resultant image (0 is white; 50 is middle-gray; 100 is black). Set sharpen to MagickTrue to increase the image contrast otherwise the contrast is reduced.</p>
