8. The term contrast has different definitions in photography and vision. In photography, it refers to the rate of change in reproduction luminance vs. scene luminance. It is the slope of the tone-scale function. In vision, it is the spatial mechanism that enhances differences in appearance. A gray patch in a white surround is darker because of the physiology in the visual system, referred to as simultaneous contrast.
