Using the Light EQ tab
The Light EQ tab has two sets of sliders. The top set is for brightening. The lower set is for
darkening. The dark-to-light gradient on each slider indicates that you brighten that tone
band when you move the slider up (top row of sliders) or darken that tone band when you
move the slider down (bottom row).
Between the two sets of sliders are two horizontal bars graded from black to white. These
bars indicate that sliders on the far left affect the dark tonal bands. The sliders on the right
affect light tonal bands. Moving a slider changes the light in that particular tonal band.
In the middle of the bands are two graphs that change as you adjust the sliders to
represent the amount of darkening and lightening throughout the tonal range of the image.
The two gray graphs show the maximum amount of brightening or darkening that you can
apply before clipping begins. If you push a slider too far, the clipping is shown in bright
pink.
To increase contrast within a tonal band, apply brightening and darkening simultaneously in equal amounts by dragging the upper
and lower sliders up and down, respectively. The area between the top of the upper graph and the bottom of the lower graph
indicates the amount by which contrast is increased.
To use the Light EQ tab:
1. Do one of the following:
Drag the tone band sliders up or down depending on which light bands you want to adjust.
Type the exact number into the number boxes or increment the numbers to make precise adjustments.
Click the # Tone drop-down list to increase or decrease the number of tone band sliders.
Click (or press E) to see any overexposed or underexposed pixels.
Click the Auto button to apply settings automatically.
Drag the Darkening slider to darken the light areas of the image.
Drag the Contrast slider to increase the contrast in the image.
Drag the Fill Light slider to lighten dark areas of the image.
2. Click Done to apply your settings and close the tool. Or click Cancel to discard your changes and close the tool.
