IMAGE PROPERTIES

One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very
easy to change important image properties.
You can manipulate contrast, sharpness and toning before
recording a picture.
CONTRAST
Contrast, 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 "vivid" and colorful.
While lighting conditions and weather (e.g. foggy/clear) are a given
in terms of recording conditions, their rendering can be influenced.
