Hallo afre,
many thanks for the good suggestions. Cambirdgeincolor is new for me - I browse and read there with enthusiasm.
I already knew the rawpedia pages, they are clearly written and very helpful. I adhere quite exactly to these specifications.
In the Advanced section it is recommended to “… continue with using both tone curves”. That’s exactly what I want to do now. But I would also like to understand. Therefore two questions:
What does the slider do: Exposure → Lightness? Is it the same effect as raising the value in the middle of the curve?
and
Can the Shadows/Lights filter be completely replaced by a curve, e.g. parametric? I find it helpful if I work with a few tools, e.g. only the curves. In this way I learn to understand them better and better. When does it make sense to use both (Kurves and Lightness) at the same time?
