This request came during a CARTA v3.0 webinar given by J. Ott at NRAO. The user said these are available in DS9, so would be good to have in CARTA.

This would be a great addition, as there is currently no colour transfer function that is symmetric about 0 (other than linear of course).

@d3v-null you can try to apply a contrast to the linear transfer function to make a few symmetric effective transfer functions. Screen Shot 2022-09-06 at 10 48 54

thanks @kswang1029 , but unfortunately at the moment the contrast doesn't sync with other images using raster matching. They do sync once when raster matching is first toggled but don't update.

yes, a to-do in the near future: https://github.com/CARTAvis/carta-frontend/issues/1959

@veggiesaurus to look into how things behave when changing contrast/bias
