This image has been adjusted so that it's exposure line matched the exposure curve (Image's curve shown below). This creates a very odd contrasting effect, with exaggerated colors. It also almost doubles the file size. I'm not sure exactly why this happens (the file size increase and the contrast) but it is a cool effect, although impractical.
