% ADJGAMMA - Adjusts image gamma.
%
% function g = adjgamma(im, g)
%
% Arguments:
%            im     - image to be processed.
%            g      - image gamma value.
%                     Values in the range 0-1 enhance contrast of bright
%                     regions, values > 1 enhance contrast in dark
%                     regions.
