Add Contrast changing buttons on Identify modal

Feature Requests
1

Platform(s), such as mobile, website, API, other: Web

URLs (aka web addresses) of any pages, if relevant: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify

Description of need: Some images in observations are very low contrast, and are therefore very difficult to make out certain details. Changing the brightness in the identify modal doesn’t help with that.

Feature request details: I am requesting a new button(s) to be added next to/near the brightness buttons on the identify modal so that one can change the contrast of an image without having to download the image and change it manually.

This request is a build-on from the brightness button request: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/edit-images-to-help-with-ids-e-g-brighten-lower-contrast/2376/16

An alternative solution is to install an advanced image viewer extension and open the photo in a separate tab (using the link-button in the Identify dialog). I use Viewhance, which supports zooming, rotating, flipping, and also has numerous filters (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc). This is generally much more convenient for me than the viewer in the Identify dialog, which I often find to be too small and lacking in sufficient zoom (my eyesight isn’t that great).

Having said that, I’m not at all against the proposal, and if it was added I would still probably occasionally use it.
