Contrast Center

Contrast increases the image contrast mainly in the midtones. Using Contrast Center, you can adjust where the contrast is increased. To enhance contrast in highlights, the Contrast Center is shifted toward the highlights. To enhance contrast in shadows, the Contrast Center is shifted toward the shadows.

¾Set the image contrast, by adjusting the Contrast slider.

Your change affects the gradation graph by moving the point where the curve changes from convex to concave.

Note: Contrast Center only affects the image if Contrast has also been adjusted.
