Sub Example_Brightness()
	' This example inserts a raster image and finds the current
	' brightness of the image. It then changes the brightness
	' of the image.

	' This example uses the "downtown.jpg" found in the Sample
	' directory. If you do not have this image, or if it is located
	' in a different directory, insert a valid path and file name
	' for the imageName variable below.
