Concept
Higher contrast makes the image clearer, but can create harsh whites, crushed blacks, or hard skin.
Lower contrast softens the image, but too much can make it flat and thin.
SELON Manual / What is Contrast?
What is Contrast?
Contrast is the distance between bright and dark areas. Strong contrast is not always better; it must fit the atmosphere of the photo.
How to use it in SELON
In SELON, adjust Density and Tone Curve before pushing Contrast too hard.
Use Contrast for punch, Density for body, and Tone Curve for more controlled tonal shaping.
