Equalize effect
The
Equalize effect alters the pixel values of an image to produce a
more consistent brightness or color component distribution. The
effect works similarly to the Equalize command in Adobe Photoshop.
Pixels with 0 alpha (completely transparent) values aren’t considered,
so masked layers are equalized based on the mask area.
This effect works with 8-bpc color.

- Equalize
- RGB equalizes the image based on red, green, and blue components. Brightness
equalizes the image based on the brightness of each pixel. Photoshop Style
equalizes by redistributing the brightness values of the pixels
in an image so that they more evenly represent the entire range
of brightness levels.
- Amount To Equalize
- How much to redistribute the brightness values. At 100%, the
pixel values are spread as evenly as possible; lower percentages
redistribute fewer pixel values.
