ABSTRACT
There are occasions when subject shadows need some extra illumination, either to lessen overall contrast or to get just a hint of detail into otherwise featureless blacks. Of course, just adding some light locally, through spotlights or electronic flash, would be the best solution, but that is not always practical and sometimes impossible. Alternatively, simply increasing the exposure and reducing development may not be suitable for aesthetic reasons. This technique is always accompanied by an overall contrast reduction, adding some shadow detail, but at the cost of reduced midtone and highlight separation. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780240816265/ffb21561-2f2c-4dca-99ec-f086fc154d4d/content/figch6sc8_u1_OC.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
