Setting Tone for Photo
Due to the color of the light source, the camera type, or various
other environmental elements, the tone of the photo may be too
bright, dark or even dim. Since it would prove difficult to recreate the
same scenario as the one in the photo, you can use
FaceFilter to optimize the tones of the photo instead.

Automatically Correcting with Presets
|
-
Load a photo. The example photo below is shot under a Back
Light situation.
-
Go to the Import >> Modify >>
Tone section, select a correcting preset from the drop-down list
(in this case, the Back Light).
-
The tone of the photo will be automatically
optimized.
| |
|
Smart Portrait
|
|
|
|
The preset will automatically detect the face in the
photo and optimize the tone to make the skin
look brighter and healthier.
|
|
| |
|
Landscape
|
|
|
|
The preset will automatically fix the highlight tone of the
panoramic photo.
|
|
| |
|
Night Shot
|
|
|
|
The preset will automatically brighten the tone of the photo
shot without any flashlight.
|
|
|
| |
|
Manually Correcting
|
|
Since the conditions vary from photo to photo, you
may need to manually adjust with sliders of different parameters.
| |
|
Exposure
|
|
The Exposure Sets the brightness of the
entire photo. Adjust the slider until the level of white in the photo is suitable.
|
|
|
The light in this photo is insufficient
|
The Exposure is increased to strengthen the lightin the scene.
|
|
| |
|
Contrast
|
|
Drag this slider to increase or decrease photo
contrast; the mid-tones are mainly affected.
When the contrast is increased, the middle-to-dark areas become darker,
and the middle-to-light areas become brighter. The tones are inversely affected
when the contrast value is decreased.
|
|
|
The entire photo is flat because of less contrast.
|
The Contrast is increased to
create more depth in the photo.
|
|
| |
|
Recover
|
|
The slider of this parameter reduces the severity of extreme highlights
caused by camera overexposure and attempts to recover lost image detail.
|
|
|
The photo is somewhat overexposed because of the extreme light
source.
|
The Recover is increased to obtain more details in the
overexposed areas (such as the sky and the clouds).
|
|
| |
|
Fill Light
|
|
Increase the value to lighten shadows or
mid-to-shadow areas to reveal more details (pure
blacks are not affected).
|
|
|
The details of the shadow areas (the bodies) are
obscure.
|
The Fill Light gives more light to the areas for
viewing more of the details.
|
|
| |
|
Vibrance
|
|
The Vibrance is similar to smart saturation.
It increases the saturation of all lower-saturated colors while
leaves the higher-saturated colors untouched.
It also prevents skin tones from appearing overly saturated.
|
|
|
The colors in the original photo are a little dull.
|
The Vibrance is increased to saturate the image and make the colors more vibrant.
