IMAGE PROPERTIES

EN
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 toning 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.
