Clip aX+b
Clip is probably the filter you'll use most. It's a contrast filter. The a variable controls the contrast and b controls the overall brightness.
For a low contrast effect make the wave in the graph smaller. Decrease the value of a to reduce the size of the wave and increase b to move the wave up.




Using this wave, all the values will be expressed as mid-gray. For a high contrast effect, adjust the wave so that it hits both the top and bottom edges of the preview.


Increase the value of a and make b negative to move the curve down.


To invert the colors in your noise, make a negative and increase b.


In these examples, different levels of Clip were applied to Linear Sine noise. The black and white versions show the contrast/brightness changes when Color is disabled.
