A more powerful, more comprehensive control over the exposure of your image than the basic Exposure effect allows.
- Exposure: Positive values brighten the image, and negative values darken the image. The value is measured in EV, (Exposure Value) exactly as it is on a camera, so it is easy to make adjustments that directly correspond to adjustments in the camera settings.
- Contrast: Reducing contrast holds the midtones in place and brings the highlight and shadow values closer to the midtones. Increasing contrast pushes everything brighter than mid-gray closer to white, and everything darker than mid-gray closer to black.
- Shadows: Adjusts the shadow areas of the image, which can be brightened to reveal more detail, or darkened to make the shadows heavier.
- Midtones: Adjusts the midtones of the image, while keeping changes to the highlights and shadows to a minimum.
- Highlights: Adjusts the highlight areas of the image, which can be brightened to increase contrast, or darkened to reveal more detail and color.
- Whites: Sets the white point of the image.
- Blacks: Sets the black point of the image.
- Vibrance: Changes the saturation of the image, but affects colors with low saturation more than colors that are already saturated, to avoid over-saturation.
- Saturation: Shifts the saturation of all colors in the image. Increasing the value makes colors more intense, while reducing the value makes the colors more subdued.
