Reference 3

Because the tone curve is a huge part of the film look (lifted blacks, softened whites, and a gentle S-curve), I included Adobe’s tone control reference. It’s the same theory I’m using when I shape that limited dynamic range and bring contrast back into the midtones.

Pros

  • +Clear explanation of tone curve and tonal control
  • +Directly relevant to faded blacks and highlight roll-off

Cons

  • -Still requires practice to apply tastefully
