I think it would be useful to have simple brightness and contrast adjustments for viewing photos.
I'm working with a set of 16-bit images that only have values around 0-1000 (out of 65535) so they show up as black in the viewer. I had to rescale and apply a 2 percent stretch to all the photos in other software so I could see them when placing ground control and checking the sparse cloud and model.
I thought it would be fine to use the rescaled 8-bit images for the remaining steps in the workflow. However, my dense clouds were plagued with large gaps so I tried using the 16-bit images in a few test areas. The difference was night and day. Dense clouds generated from the original 16-bit images almost completely filled the gaps that existed in the dense clouds based on the 8-bit images. So a simple bright and contrast slider could be very helpful to avoid this back and forth between 8-bit and 16-bit images.
