Modes & Effects

 

Modes

 

ContrastMaster offers an Novice and Expert mode, which apply all available effects, whereas the remaining four modes only apply individual contrast effects.

 

Modes Workflow

Changes that you make in each mode will be transfered if you switch to another mode. Only the values of the Intensity sliders of the Dynamic Contrast, Adaptive Contrast and Local Contrast modes will no be transfered to the Novice and Expert mode, because these modes have their own intensity sliders, which work a bit different. For detailed workflow tips see the Step By Step Guide page.
