Gamma Correction

Applying gamma correction to your images can visibly improve their appearance, granting more image depth, defining lights and shadows better, and highlighting details.
Adjusting the values of Gamma is different from simply correcting the brightness or the white balance in an image. This feature virtually implies the ability to bring the digital photo as close as possible to what you saw with your naked eye when taking it.

How to Apply Gamma Correction to a Batch of Images?

1. Open Images

Add one or more image files by selecting them from your hard drive or by drag-and-dropping them into the reaConverter window. They can be any type of image files, because this powerful software supports not only popular extensions, such as JPEG, PNG or WebP, but also RAW, CR3, NEF, ARW, or other less known and rare image files.

2. Add Gamma Correction Action

Go to the Image editing tab, click on Add action, and then Color Adjustments and Gamma Correction.

Here you can easily customize the Gamma values in your image, while checking the result in real time in the Preview section.

3. Save the Result

Review the Saving options you have and decide on the location of your corrected images. Before completing the operation, decide if you want to preserve or change the format of your images.

Finally, click the Convert button and your new images will be available in a few seconds.

Gamma correction on your PC

The fast and easy way to apply gamma correction on your PC is to use reaConverter. The software runs completely offline, keeping your files safe and private.
