-w ... whitept .... white point percent value for level adjustment of the L
................... channel; 0<=integer<=100; default=100 (no change)

................... the L channel; float (positive or negative); default=0

................... integer (positive or negative); default=0 (no change)

PURPOSE: To apply white balancing to an image and optionally apply brightness/contrast/vibrance enhancement.

DESCRIPTION: WHITEBALANCING applies white balance to an image according to a gray world method in LAB colorspace and optionally applies brightness/contrast/vibrance enhancement. There are no specific arguments for adjusting the white balancing.

ARGUMENTS:

-b blackpt ... BLACKPT is the black point percent value for level adjustment of the L channel. Values are integers between 0 and 100. The default=0 (no change)

-w whitept ... WHITEPT is the white point percent value for level adjustment of the L channel. Values are integers between 0 and 100. The default=0 (no change)

-g gammaval ... GAMMAVAL is the gamma value for non-linear adjustment on the L channel. Values are floats greater than 0. The default=1 (no change)

-s sigmoid ... SIGMOID is the sigmoidal contrast value for non-linear adjustment of the L channel. Values are floats (positive or negative). The default=0 (no change)

-v vibrance ... VIBRANCE is the percent change in vibrance (saturation). Values are integers (positive or negative). The default=0 (no change)

REQUIREMENTS: IM 6.7.8.2 or higher, when the LAB colorspace conversions were fixed. But requires HDMI for correct output results
