I would also appreciate more explanation about the masking process.
I have been using tone equalizer a bit now and it’s a great tool. The only thing I struggle is to predict how to spread the histogram across all the nodes. The preview bar in the masking tab most of the time is not centered while the histogram in the advance is fine, and the other way around (a center bar does not equate a center and/spread histogram).
Also, maybe one question : say I want to work more on the highlights, does it make sense to spread the histogram just for the highlights? Meaning that most of the nodes in advanced tab will be used to control the highlights ? Is there any downside to do so?
I ask this cause on some pictures, I don’t find a way to pull down highlights enough while at the same time raising the mid tones. Hence the idea to have two instances of the tone equalizer : one for mid tones and shadows, the other for highlights.
Note I mainly use tone equalizer for landscape properly exposed with few over exposed areas.
