ESG QuickStretch Wizards Overview

Linear Stretches (Clips) | Histogram Equalize | Gaussian Equalize
Limits to Actual | Reset Default Transforms | QuickStretch Preferences

The ESG QuickStretch Wizards let you "one click" to apply a variety of contrast enhancements to an image or mosaic of images. This is fast way to instantly try various enhancements without having to cycle through the transforms and apply them to each layer.

All active Red, Green, Blue, Pseudo or Intensity layers in the current algorithm surface are affected. The wizards do not affect Hue, Saturation, Height, Classification or Class Display layers. They also do not affect Intensity layers when sun shading is turned on. If the surface is a mosaic of images, the enhancement is applied to all images in the mosaic. Only the post-formula transforms are affected (not pre-formula).

99.9% linear clip 99.9% linear clip applies a 99.9% contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
99.5% linear clip 99.5% linear clip applies a 99.5% contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
99% linear clip 99% linear clip applies a 99% contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
98% linear clip 98% linear clip applies a 98% contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
97% linear clip 97% linear clip applies a 97% contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
95% linear clip 95% linear clip applies a 95% contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
Histogram Equalize Histogram Equalize applies a histogram equalization contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
Gaussian Equalize 2 Gaussian Equalize 2 applies a Gaussian equalization (2 standard deviations) contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
Gaussian Equalize 3 Gaussian Equalize 3 applies a Gaussian equalization (3 standard deviations) contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
Gaussian Equalize 4 Gaussian Equalize 4 applies a Gaussian equalization (4 standard deviations) contrast stretch to images in the current surface. 
Limits to Actual Set Limits to Actual sets final (post-formula) transforms for images in the current surface to the actual input limits and a default transform line. 
Reset Default Transforms Reset Default Transforms resets final (post-formula) transforms for images in the current surface to the default 0-255 input range and a default transform line. It also restores final transforms if they have been deleted for layers. 
Set QuickStretch Prefs Set QuickStretch Preferences lets you control the default behavior of the other "one-click" wizards. This includes:
