# Levels

`std.``Levels`(clip clip[, float min_in, float max_in, float gamma=1.0, float min_out, float max_out, int[] planes=[0, 1, 2]])

  Adjusts brightness, contrast, and gamma.

  The range [min_in, max_in] is remapped into [min_out, max_out]. Note that the range behavior is unintuitive for YUV float formats since the assumed range will be 0-1 even for the UV-planes.

  For example, to convert from limited range YUV to full range (8 bit):

      clip = std.Levels(clip, min_in=16, max_in=235, min_out=0, max_out=255, planes=0)
      clip = std.Levels(clip, min_in=16, max_in=240, min_out=0, max_out=255, planes=[1,2])

  The default value of max_in and max_out is the format’s minimum and maximum allowed values repsectively. Note that all input is clamped to the input range to prevent out of range output.

  Warning

  The default ranges are 0-1 for floating point formats. This may have an undesired

    effect on YUV formats.

  clip

    Clip to process. It must have integer sample type and bit depth between 8 and 16, or float sample type and bit depth of 32. If there are any frames with other formats, an error will be returned.

  gamma

    Controls the degree of non-linearity of the conversion. Values greater than 1.0 brighten the output, while values less than 1.0 darken it.

  planes

    Specifies which planes will be processed. Any unprocessed planes will be simply copied.
