There is no secret in “compressing the luminance” the idea is to build a tonal curve that has a goos “S” curve, you want to preserve in a linear fashion the 7(ish) stops around the 18%gray, then gently put toe and shoulder to flatten the extra black and whites, the more gently you do it, the softer the image is, the harder you do it, th more contrast the final image is.

 

Thank you!

Ciao Walter,

so che non puoi rivelare a tutti il grande segreto della compressione della luminanza, ma quando scriviamo in italiano nessuno lo capisce con ayayayay per favore per favore per favore

Hey Walter, thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

May i ask, is there any article or course or something on luma/highlight-compression you would recommend? I know there is some information here on Lowepost, but maybe a bit more in depth.

Thanks,

Valentin

Thank you Walter, this is so awesome!
