IMAGE PROPERTIES
One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very
easy to change essential image properties. The image properties
of JPG pictures can be changes slightly using several parameters.
These are summarized in pre-configured
Film Style profiles.
CONTRAST
The contrast setting, i.e. the difference between light and dark im-
age 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 brighter
or darker.
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 shots determines, whether colors in
the picture appear “pale” and pastel-like or “vivid” and bright. While
lighting conditions and weather (e.g. foggy/clear) are a given in
terms of shooting conditions, their rendering can be influenced.
HIGHLIGHT/SHADOW
Depending on the exposure selected and the dynamic scope of the
object, some details in brighter or darker areas may no longer be
clearly visible. The parameters
Highlight and Shadow allow differ-
entiated control over very brightly or less brightly lit areas. Where,
for example, part of the object is in shadow, a higher setting for
Shadow can help brighten these areas to make details more visible.
Conversely, existing shadows or particularly bright areas might be
additionally emphasized for reasons of image composition. Positive
values will brighten the targeted areas, while negative values will
darken them.
