The difference is more noticeable in certain areas, especially the door which was processed twice through the Tonal Contrast filter. Here is a crop of part of the door and wall showing the detail in the unprocessed version on top and the processed version on bottom. I also used the Glamour Glow filter to deepen the blue of the window above the door and blur the details, and added a slight vignette to darken the bright areas around the edges. I wanted to give the door an extra boost, so I reprocessed through the Tonal Contrast filter again and added a mask so only the door had the double processing in the final image. A little boost on the saturation slider helped bring out the color as well. The Saturation slider works similarly on color and when pushed all the way to the right will result in colors that are only seen in real life by those who lived through the ’60s but don’t remember much of it.īy not straying too far from the center position on the sliders, I could bring out the texture without creating an over processed look. The further you move the top 3 sliders to the right, the more texture will be accentuated.
With just 4 main sliders, processing with the Tonal Contrast filter is pretty straightforward. For this image, my goal was to bring out the texture while keeping a realistic look. By giving you control over highlight, midtone and shadow contrast, you can achieve everything from subtle effects to pseudo HDR looks. Emphasizing texture is the Tonal Contrast filter’s specialty.
