An example of using “Tone Response Curve & Midtones” in LA Cam16 - “Source Data Adjustments”
Note.
No use of tools such:
- Log encoding
- Sigmoid tone mapping
- Dynamic Range Compression
- Or other Tone Mapping tools
Only :
- gamma with a high value to recover highlights
- slope with a high value to recover shadows
We connect a linear part (slope) and a parabolic part (gamma) without any discontinuity. - Smooth highlights restores Dynamic Range beyond L=70
All the Dynamic Range of the image is restored, approximately 21Ev

And the pp3

I think it’s simple and quite intuitive.
