Where it shines

Picnics, gardens and portraits in soft daylight. Garden lifts the blacks and calms the colour, so a busy scene of flowers and grass reads as pastel.

What to watch

At night and in dark rooms the lifted blacks turn grey, as the night street shows. If a bright sky or white clothes lose detail, lower Exposure.
