The **Dramatic tool** allows for creativity. It lowers the saturation and the contrast, helping you achieve a gritty cinematic look in your photos. Its effect is similar to that achieved by the bleach bypass darkroom technique. The Dramatic tool is often used in stylized fashion shoots, urban images, and grungy athletic portraits.
