Better Fuji Photos Episode 35: Fujifilm's Targeted Contrast Control
Fujifilm Film Simulations have set contrast levels, all different. But what if you want to modify that contrast even further? That's what the Tone Curve (Highlight Tone & Shadow Tone) settings are for, and the topic of this podcast episode.
Just remember:
- Shadow Tone only affects the dark tonal areas (shadows), not the highlights
- Highlight Tone only affects the bright tonal areas (highlights), not the shadows
- Positive numbers increase contrast (dark areas darker or bright areas brighter)
- Negative numbers decrease contrast (dark areas brighter or bright areas darker)
