  We report on the photometric properties of faculae and network as observed in
full-disk, scattered-light corrected images from the Helioseismic Magnetic
Imager. We use a Lucy-Richardson deconvolution routine that corrects an image
in less than one second. Faculae are distinguished from network through
proximity to active regions. This is the first report that full-disk
observations, including center-to-limb variations, reproduce the photometric
properties of faculae and network observed previously only in sub-arcsecond
resolution, small field-of-view studies, i.e. that network, as defined by
distance from active regions, exhibit higher photometric contrasts.
Specifically, for magnetic flux values larger than approximately 300 G, the
network is brighter than faculae and the contrast differences increases toward
the limb, where the network contrast is about twice the facular one. For lower
magnetic flux values, network appear darker than faculae. Contrary to reports
from previous full-disk observations, we also found that network exhibits a
higher center-to-limb variation. Our results are in agreement with reports from
simulations that indicate magnetic flux alone is a poor proxy of the
photometric properties of magnetic features. We estimate that the contribution
of faculae and network to Total Solar Irradiance variability of the current
Cycle 24 is overestimated by at least 11\% due to the photometric properties of
network and faculae not being recognized as different. This estimate is
specific to the method employed in this study to reconstruct irradiance
variations, so caution should be paid when extending it to other techniques.
