10Photomatix Essentials 3.2 User Manual
2.2.5 Exposure Fusion Settings
• Accentuation: Adjusts the strength of the overall eect.
• Blending Point: Adjusts how much weight to give the underexposed
or overexposed images. When you move the slider to the right, the
overexposed images are favored, which tends to brighten the resulting
image. The reverse happens when you move the slider to the left.
• Local Contrast: Increases the contrast and sharpness of details in the
image. Increasing local contrast may have the side eect of making
noise more visible, and of creating thin halo eects around strong
luminosity edges. Values near the maximum tend to give a surreal
look to the image. The default value is 2.
• Color Saturation: Adjusts the saturation of the color channels. The
greater the saturation, the more intense the colors. A value of -10
produces a grayscale image.
• Midtones: Increases or decreases contrast in the midtones of the
image. Raising it brightens the image but reduces the overall contrast.
Lowering it darkens the image while increasing contrast.
Exposure Fusion Settings
• Lighting Adjustments: Aects the overall ‘look’, controlling the extent to
which the image looks natural or surreal. When the Lighting Eects Mode
box is unchecked, move the slider to the right to make the image look
more natural and to the left to make it look more ‘painterly’ or ‘surreal’.
• Lighting Eects Mode: The checkbox lets you switch between two
modes for the Lighting Adjustments setting, where each mode produces
slightly dierent results. Checking the box tends to produce results with
a type of ‘Magic Light’ eect. Note that ner control is not possible in
Lighting Eects mode.
2.2.4 Tone Compressor Settings
• Brightness: Adjusts the overall brightness of the tone mapped image.
The default value is 0.
• Compression: Controls the compression of the tonal range. Move the
slider to the right to shift both shadows and highlights toward the
mid-tones in the tone mapped image. The default value is 0.
• Contrast Adaptation: Adjusts the inuence of the average brightness
in relation to the intensity of the processed pixel. Move the slider to
the right to create more pronounced colors. Move the slider to the left
to create a more “natural” look. The default value is 0.
• Color Saturation: Adjusts the color saturation of the tone mapped
image. The greater the saturation, the more intense the color. The
value aects each color channel equally. The default value is 0.
• Color Temperature: Adjusts the color temperature of the tone mapped
image relative to the temperature of the HDR source image. Move the
slider to the right for a warmer, more yellow-orange colored look. Move
it to the left for a colder, more bluish look. A value of 0 (default) pre-
serves the original color temperature of the HDR source image.
