Adjusting Image Quality Page 53
Midtones Adjusts the midtone values in the middle of the
curve without affecting the values of the highlights
or shadows at the very ends of the curve.
To select the way the midtones move, click the icon
to display as follows:
N (Linear) moves all the points in a literal
relationship.
L (Logarithmic) moves the points based on a
preset mathematical formula for a more gentle and
subtle curve.
Shadows Controls only the points on the left of the tone
curve. Use this slider when you want to adjust the
shadows without affecting the highlights.
