Remarks

The contrast function modifies each color channel value using two piecewise quadratic polynomials that meet with slope continuity at the point (0.5, 0.5).

Contrast diagram

Effect inputs and outputs are assumed to be in premultiplied alpha format, but this effect operates internally on straight alpha data, so its input values will be unpremultiplied, then the contrast adjustment applied, and finally the result converted back to premultiplied format.

This Windows Runtime type corresponds to the D2D Contrast effect.
