Setting Exclude Min/Max

If you do not want to use the minimum and maximum values as end points when applying an enhancement, apply Exclude Min/Max.

For example, the following table shows a simple PCIDSK file with only seven pixels and one line. When Exclude Min/Max is selected, the lowest and highest digital number (DN) values (excluding the outliers 0 and 255) are stretched to 0 and 255. When Exclude Min/Max is not selected, the original minimum and maximum values are used as end points. The remaining values are stretched with respect to this range.

Pixel number of line 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Raw data DN 0 5 50 51 52 60 255
Enhanced DN Exclude Min/Max 0 0 127 140 153 255 255
Enhanced DN Include Min/Max 0 170 212 216 221 255 255

To set Exclude Min/Max

On the Enhancement toolbar, click the arrow beside Enhancements, and then click Exclude Min/Max.
