S-Gamma Correction
S-Gamma RGB Correction





This filter provides an easy way to apply the most common curves - S-Curve and Gamma correction. S and Gamma curves control the image contrast and brightness without clipping dark and bright values.

Parameters:

S Curve S-Curve adds more contrast to midtones at the expense of shadows and highlights. The inverted S-Curve "stretches" the shadows and highlights whereas midtones get compressed.
Value of 0.0 = no change. Positive - S-Curve. Negative -  inverted S-Curve.
Gamma Gamma curve changes the image brightness (mostly for midtones) without clipping shadows and highlights.
Value of 0.0 = no change. Positive - midpoint up. Negative - midpoint down.

Midtone contrast is visually more important than in shadows and highlights and the S-Curve is usually the best way to adjust the tonal range. In "S-Gamma RGB" you can also adjust colors for shadows, midtones and highlights.
And more - each film's unique character is defined by its color space and tonal curve. Playing with curves in "S-Gamma RGB" and with colors in "Channel Mixer" you can simulate almost any film, photo paper, digiatal camera or display.
