What does each control do?
Gamma vs Exposure
Gamma applies a non-linear power curve — it lifts midtones without blowing highlights. Exposure is a linear multiplier, like adjusting the camera's EV stop. Use gamma for natural-looking corrections.
Highlights & Shadows
These target only the brightest and darkest zones of the image. Pull Highlights down to recover overexposed skies. Push Shadows up to reveal details hidden in dark areas.
Whites & Blacks
Whites clips the very top of the tonal range — essentially sets the white point. Blacks crushes or lifts the floor. Together they control overall dynamic range and punch.
White Balance
Temperature shifts the image warm (orange) or cool (blue) — useful when the camera's WB was wrong. Tint corrects green/magenta cast from mixed lighting like fluorescent bulbs.
Vibrance vs Saturation
Vibrance intelligently boosts muted colours while protecting already-saturated ones and skin tones. Saturation boosts everything equally — use it carefully to avoid cartoon-like results.
