GIMP allows one to do that with far less effort and I´d recommended it for most beginners instead. But its nice to see that there is some command line applications that allows people to do something like that, since it can be really useful in scripts.
One could argue that this is useless, but as anyone on this industry can tell you, you´ll only render your animations into a proper movie file after render several Targas in a directory using your favorite 3D animation package, then loading this bunch of TGAs into a post-processing software and/or a non linear video editor.
So a command line utility that can let you adjust some brightness/contrast/gamma/whatever (like ImageMagick can do ALREADY) with just a command within an automated fashion will save you a lot of time and from having some headaches.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)

Too much hassle for a beginner
