Understanding Increase Contrast

Boost contrast to make darks darker and lights lighter, adding depth and punch to flat images. This adjustment modifies: Contrast +40.

How contrast works: Contrast controls the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of your image. Higher contrast makes highlights brighter and shadows deeper, creating a punchy, dramatic look. Lower contrast flattens the tonal range for a softer, more muted appearance.

A common mistake: Over-increasing contrast clips shadow and highlight detail permanently. Use the preview to check that you are not losing important detail in very dark or very bright areas.
