IMAGE PROPERTIES

One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very
easy to change key image properties.
You can manipulate contrast, sharpness and color saturation
before recording.
CONTRAST
The contrast setting, i.e. the difference between light and dark
image sections, determines whether an image comes across as
"flat" or "brilliant". Increasing or decreasing this difference impacts
on contrast, meaning that some image sections are rendered with
more or less light.
SHARPNESS
The impression of sharpness in a picture is largely determined by
edge sharpness, i.e. by how slight the transition area between light
and dark is at edges in the picture. Expanding or reducing these
areas will therefore change the impression of sharpness.
COLOR SATURATION
The saturation factor in color images determines, whether colors in
the picture appear "pale" and pastel-like or "bright" and colorful.
While you can't do anything about weather conditions (clear/
misty), you can change the way an image is rendered.
