... Imagine that for every pixel in the color image, you take its luminance value (that's how bright it appears). ... In the end, you will have a histogram which counts how many times each luminance value appears in the image (that histogram can be used to analyze the distribution of the luminance values in the image). ... For the watermark effect, we want to use the same value that we used in the Stretch Contrast step, so that the lightest color will be in fact white (255), and nothing will get clamped...

... The shape of the spectrum and its overall level are closely tied, which is why both sensitivity and vignetting were discussed in the previous section. ... Therefore, undulations in the sensitivity function, which have length scales of many ngstroms, at most have a small linear effect across a given spectrum. ... Thermal drifts caused a spectrum to move on the photocathode, so the GHRS routinely performed a SPYBAL (spectrum Y-balance) to properly center the spectrum on the diode array. ...
