(via corrections or the dTFS function), for example, has the effect that shadows become lighter whereas the light areas come out only slightly lighter or almost unchanged which in turn means a contrast reduction. 4.32 AGFA d-lab.3 2003-06-01 /PN 9008...
Seasonal changes (color dominants green and white) should not be compensated by the correction effect, but only by the corrections themselves. Shifting all 3 colors by the same extent and in the same direction has no effect. AGFA d-lab.3 4.33 2003-06-01 /PN 9008...
A slight increase in the color saturation may be an advantage for some prints (e.g. pictures with many colored areas), however for faces it seems exaggerating. For a normal mixed production a value of 0 is the best setting. 4.34 AGFA d-lab.3 2003-06-01 /PN 9008...
– In case of reduction of this value the noise is reduced, the grain structure disappears, but details are less sharp and highlights are eliminated. Grain reduction only with values ≤ 0, e.g. –4 AGFA d-lab.3 4.35 2003-06-01 /PN 9008...
Light face in front of a dark background. The more negative the value (-9), the lighter the face and the darker the background. Extreme settings result in artifacts. Detail contrast and area contrast should not be adjusted in opposite directions. 4.36 AGFA d-lab.3 2003-06-01 /PN 9008...
Then the learning process begins again. Use different films of the same type for the learning, do not use the same film 22 times as otherwise the statistics will be falsified! AGFA d-lab.3 4.37 2003-06-01 /PN 9008...
