We report on the photometric properties of faculae and network as observed infull-disk, scattered-light corrected images from the Helioseismic MagneticImager. We use a Lucy-Richardson deconvolution routine that corrects an imagein less than one second. Faculae are distinguished from network throughproximity to active regions. This is the first report that full-diskobservations, including center-to-limb variations, reproduce the photometricproperties of faculae and network observed previously only in sub-arcsecondresolution, small field-of-view studies, i.e. that network, as defined bydistance from active regions, exhibit higher photometric contrasts.Specifically, for magnetic flux values larger than approximately 300 G, thenetwork is brighter than faculae and the contrast differences increases towardthe limb, where the network contrast is about twice the facular one. For lowermagnetic flux values, network appear darker than faculae. Contrary to reportsfrom previous full-disk observations, we also found that network exhibits ahigher center-to-limb variation. Our results are in agreement with reports fromsimulations that indicate magnetic flux alone is a poor proxy of thephotometric properties of magnetic features. We estimate that the contributionof faculae and network to Total Solar Irradiance variability of the currentCycle 24 is overestimated by at least 11\% due to the photometric properties ofnetwork and faculae not being recognized as different. This estimate isspecific to the method employed in this study to reconstruct irradiancevariations, so caution should be paid when extending it to other techniques.
