The High Key tool emulates the look achieved by high key lighting, where the main light source slightly overexposes the subject. This technique produces bright, high-contrast images and is often used in fashion and beauty photography.
Amount. This slider allows you to set the intensity of the High Key effect.
Standard High Key. This slider affects the image globally.
Dynamic High Key. This slider is more limited in its effect, considering skin tones as it applies the High Key effect to the image.
Blacks. Use this slider to maintain contrast in the darkest areas of your image.
Glow. This slider controls the behavior of the brighter areas of the photo.
Contrast. This slider affects the overall contrast in the image (the relative difference between the lightest and darkest areas).
Saturation. This slider determines if the overall image becomes washed out or stays richly saturated.
