IMAGE PROPERTIES
One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very
easy to change essential image properties. The image properties of
JPG files can be changes slightly using several parameters.
CONTRAST
The contrast setting, i.e. the difference between light and dark im-
age sections, determines whether an image comes across as “flat”
or “brilliant”. Increasing or decreasing this difference impacts on
contrast, meaning that some image sections are rendered brighter
or darker.
SHARPNESS
The impression of sharpness in a image is largely determined by
edge sharpness, i.e. by how slight the transition area between light
and dark is at edges in the image. Expanding or reducing these areas
will therefore change the impression of sharpness.
