ABSTRACT:
A method of enhancing a digital image obtains the digital image, then decomposes the provided digital image according to a plurality of a number N frequency bands, including a low frequency band and more than one different higher frequency bands. Modified image data is formed by applying a gain function to image data for one or more of the N frequency bands according to a setting of a number M control points, wherein M is less than N. The modified image data for the N frequency bands are summed to form a reconstructed digital image.
