While many tools are primarily aesthetic in nature—allowing you to tweak values until achieving a visually pleasing result—some advanced tools are designed to modify a scene based on scene-referred conditions, viewing parameters, and physical phenomena. Using these tools effectively requires more than just arbitrary slider adjustments; it calls for an understanding of how to define the input to achieve a correct and meaningful output.
In this thread, I invite you to demonstrate the proper use of the Color Appearance & Lighting tool.
Please include:
- The raw file and its corresponding
.pp3file. - Before-and-after JPEG images showcasing the results (same crop, just with Color Appearance & Lighting on and off)
Keep the use of other tools to a minimum. Also, kindly specify whether your image may be featured in RawPedia, should we decide to use it as an example to highlight the tool’s functionality.
