Weight

Weight affects the grayscale portion of a color image, which is the part of the image with no color information. A higher weight setting increases the emphasis on this grayscale aspect of a color image, while decreasing emphasis on color quality. A lower setting increases the consistency of color between the MrSID image and the original data.

Images with high color contrast will benefit from a lower weight setting. Images with greater detail benefit from a higher weight setting.
