Adjust Brightness of an Image with Aspose.PSD for Java

Introduction

Enhancing images is a common requirement in graphic design and digital photography. Aspose.PSD for Java provides a powerful solution for adjusting image brightness programmatically. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to utilize the Aspose.PSD for Java library to adjust the brightness of an image, step by step.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

Aspose.PSD for Java Library: Download and install the library from the Aspose.PSD for Java documentation.

Import Packages

To begin, import the necessary packages into your Java project. In this example, we’ll use the following:

import com.aspose.psd.Image;
import com.aspose.psd.RasterImage;

import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.tiff.enums.TiffExpectedFormat;
import com.aspose.psd.fileformats.tiff.enums.TiffPhotometrics;
import com.aspose.psd.imageoptions.TiffOptions;

Now, let’s break down the process of adjusting the brightness of an image into simple steps:

Step 1: Load the Image

String dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
String sourceFile = dataDir + "sample.psd";
String destName = dataDir + "AdjustBrightness_out.tiff";

// Load an existing image into an instance of RasterImage class
Image image = Image.load(sourceFile);
// Cast object of Image to RasterImage
RasterImage rasterImage = (RasterImage) image;

// Check if RasterImage is cached and Cache RasterImage for better performance
if (!rasterImage.isCached()) {
    rasterImage.cacheData();
}

In this step, we load the target image and cast it to a RasterImage for further processing.

Step 2: Adjust Brightness

// Adjust the brightness
rasterImage.adjustBrightness(-50);

Here, we use the adjustBrightness method to modify the brightness of the image. In this example, we decrease the brightness by 50 units, but you can customize this value based on your requirements.

Step 3: Set TiffOptions

int[] ushort = {8, 8, 8};
// Create an instance of TiffOptions for the resultant image
TiffOptions tiffOptions = new TiffOptions(TiffExpectedFormat.Default);
tiffOptions.setBitsPerSample(ushort);
tiffOptions.setPhotometric(TiffPhotometrics.Rgb);

Configure the TiffOptions for saving the adjusted image. Adjust the bitsPerSample and photometric properties based on your specific needs.

Step 4: Save the Resultant Image

// Save the resultant image
rasterImage.save(destName, tiffOptions);

Finally, save the modified image using the specified TiffOptions.

Conclusion

Adjusting the brightness of an image programmatically is made easy with Aspose.PSD for Java. This tutorial has provided a comprehensive guide on implementing this functionality in your Java applications.
