Tonal Range Definition Defines the tonal range of the shadows and highlights using threshold and falloff controls:
• Shadow Threshold Determines the shadow’s tonal range.
• Shadow Softness Determines the shadow’s tonal range with falloff.
• Highlight Threshold Determines the highlight’s tonal range.
• Highlight Softness Determines the highlight’s tonal range with falloff.
Choose Tonal Range from the Output pop-up menu to view the highlights, midtones, and shadows as you adjust the
Tonal Range Definition controls.
Tonal Range Specifies whether the color correction is applied to the entire image (Master), the highlights only,
midtones only, or shadows only.
Gamma Adjusts the image’s midtone values without affecting black and white levels. Use this control to adjust
images that are too dark or too light, without distorting shadows and highlights.
Pedestal Adjusts an image by adding a fixed offset to the image’s pixel values. Use this control with the Gain control
to increase an image’s overall brightness.
Gain Affects the overall contrast ratio of an image by adjusting brightness values by multiplication. The lighter pixels
are affected more than darker pixels.
RGB Lets you adjust the midtone values, contrast, and brightness of each color channel individually. Click the
triangle to expand the options for setting the gamma, pedestal, and gain of each channel.
• Red Gamma, Green Gamma, and Blue Gamma Adjusts the red, green, or blue channel’s midtone values without
affecting black and white levels.
• Red Pedestal, Green Pedestal, and Blue Pedestal Adjusts the tonal values in the red, green, or blue channel by
adding a fixed offset to the channel’s pixel values. Use this control with the Gain control to increase the channel’s
overall brightness.
• Red Gain, Green Gain, and Blue Gain Adjusts the red, green, or blue channel’s brightness values by multiplication
so that lighter pixels are affected more than darker pixels.
