4.5.6
Area Contrast (for Color Negatives and Digital)
Effect
This parameter influences the contrast of large structures (cm-range). The light in the
shadows can be increased and at the same time certain light spots (e.g. faces too light by
flash exposures) can be darkened. In contrast to the gradation changes the color
saturation and sharpness are not affected.
Adjustment range:
Step width:
Standard setting:
Effect:
Shift to + :
–
The contrast is reduced.
Too high values of this parameter may result in artifacts; e.g. halo effects with dark
faces in front of a gray background.
Shift to – :
–
The contrast increases. E.g. light face in front of dark background: the more negative
the value, the lighter the face and the darker the background.
Extreme settings result in artifacts.
Note
We recommend to adjust detail contrast and area contrast not in opposite directions.
