Shadow/Highlight effect

The Shadow/Highlight effect brightens shadowed subjects in an image and reduces the highlights in an image. This

effect doesn’t darken or lighten an entire image; it adjusts the shadows and highlights independently, based on the

surrounding pixels. You can also adjust the overall contrast of an image. The default settings are for fixing images

with backlighting problems.

This effect works with 8-bpc and 16-bpc color.

Auto Amounts If this option is selected, the Shadow Amount and Highlight Amount values are ignored, and

amounts are used that are automatically determined to be appropriate for lightening and restoring detail to the

shadows. Selecting this option also activates the Temporal Smoothing control.

Shadow Amount The amount to lighten shadows in the image. This control is active only if you deselect Auto

Amounts.

Highlight Amount The amount to darken highlights in the image. This control is active only if you deselect Auto

Amounts.

Temporal Smoothing The range of adjacent frames, in seconds, analyzed to determine the amount of correction

needed for each frame, relative to its surrounding frames. If Temporal Smoothing is 0, each frame is analyzed

independently, without regard for surrounding frames. Temporal Smoothing can result in smoother-looking correc-

tions over time.

Scene Detect If this option is selected, frames beyond a scene change are ignored when surrounding frames are

analyzed for temporal smoothing.

Blend With Original The effect’s transparency. The result of the effect is blended with the original image, with the

effect result composited on top. The higher you set this value, the less the effect affects the clip. For example, if you

set this value to 100%, the effect has no visible result on the clip; if you set this value to 0%, the original image doesn’t

show through.

Expand the More Options category to reveal the following controls:

Shadow Tonal Width and Highlight Tonal Width The range of adjustable tones in the shadows and highlights. Lower

values restrict the adjustable range to only the darkest and lightest regions, respectively. Higher values expand the

adjustable range. These controls are useful for isolating regions to adjust. For example, to lighten a dark area without

affecting the midtones, set a low Shadow Tonal Width value so that when you adjust the Shadow Amount, you’re

lightening only the darkest areas of an image. Specifying a value that is too large for a given image might introduce

halos around strong dark to light edges. The default settings attempt to reduce these artifacts. These halos may occur

if the Shadow or Highlight Amount value is too large; they can also be reduced by decreasing these values.

Shadow Radius and Highlight Radius The radius (in pixels) of the area around a pixel that the effect uses to

determine whether the pixel resides in a shadow or a highlight. Generally, this value should roughly equal the size of

the subject of interest in the image.

Color Correction The amount of color correction that the effect applies to the adjusted shadows and highlights. For

example, if you increase the Shadow Amount value, you bring out colors that were dark in the original image; you
