Layers
You can turn all check layers on or off with one click.
| Invert | Inverts the image and is particularly useful in combination with other layers, such as the solar curve, channel mixer, hues, saturation, etc. |
|---|---|
| Solar Curve | A curve that exaggerates differences in an image. Aberrations can be found that way, that could be overlooked by the naked eye on the screen. |
| Contrast | Increases the contrast in the picture. The intensity can be defined in the options. |
| Black & White | Desaturates the entire picture. |
| Channel Mixer | Turns the picture into a high-contrast, black and white image, in a way that blemishes become visible. Depending on the picture, the red and green channels should be adjusted. |
| Neutral Color | Neutral gray tone in blending mode difference. It helps to find neutral colors (shown as black), e.g., to make a clean white balance. |
| Increase saturation | Increases the saturation in the picture. This will make even pixels visible that contain only 1% of color and could be mistaken for a neutral tone. |
| Hues on gray | Neutral gray tone in blending mode luminance. It helps to display color areas in a picture. Colorless regions, e.g., pure shades of gray, black and white, appear as a neutral gray. Colors appear bright or pale depending on their saturation. |
| Hues on black | Like the color check layer, this layer helps to display color areas in a picture. Instead of a neutral gray tone, black, white and all shades of gray appear black. |
