Step 1. Select the ﬁ lter to be applied to your photo. In this photo, the updated Tonal Contrast

ﬁ lter was used to bring out the details in the sky, shoreline, and water.

Step 2. To achieve this effect, the Balanced Contrast Type was used with

a high level of the effect applied to the Highlights and Midtones, and a

medium amount of the effect applied to the Shadows.

Step 3. When working with Control Points, you should ﬁ rst determine if you

want to add the effect to only a part of the image, or if you want to remove

the effect from only a part of the image. If you want to add the effect to only

a part of the image, start with the + Control Point. If you want to remove the

effect from only a part of the image, start with the – Control Point.

In this image, the effect is too strong on the dark rocks on the

shoreline. Therefore, a – Control Point is used to remove the effect

only from the dark rocks. To ensure a uniform selection, a second –

Control Point is added.

After adding a control point, the opacity of that control point can be

adjusted to bring a portion of the effect back to the selected area.
