[PD] pix_contrast eats up cpu power

hello,

i don't understand everything on your mail.

with color = color * 0.1 , then every color component (R, G and B) will be 10 times smaller than the original texture color, so the images will be darker.
color value are between 0 and 1, so you can try curve like this : 
 color = pow(color,vec4(0.5));

i don't know exactly what curve to use for a good contrast / saturation, but you can have a look at pix_contrast source code...
