In cases where the bright and dark areas of an image are too extreme, which...

When the contrast between bright and dark areas is extreme,gamma correctionis effective in adjusting luminance in a non-linear way to balance these extremes.

Ifγ < 1, dark areas are brightened, highlights are compressed.

Ifγ > 1, bright areas are emphasized, shadows are compressed.Other methods like grayscale stretching and compression target linear contrast changes, while inversion flips pixel values but doesn’t balance extreme light/dark ranges effectively.

Exact Extract from HCIP-AI EI Developer V2.5:

"Gamma correction adjusts image brightness non-linearly, suitable for correcting overly bright or overly dark regions, improving overall visibility."
