What the four measurements mean

Brightness estimates overall visible luminance. Contrast measures separation between light and dark pixels. Dark-area coverage shows how much of the frame is near black. Edge detail estimates whether visible shapes remain distinct.

How to act on the result

A very dark image benefits from stability and a small steady light source. Low edge detail can indicate blur, noise, or insufficient illumination. The score is a creative guide, not a forensic measurement.
