Flexing Fundamentals Part 3: Exploring Rolling vs. Linear Contrast Tools

If you’ve checked out any of my other Insights, you know that I’m a big believer in keeping my node graphs as simple and organized as possible: one node for exposure, one node for contrast, one node for balance, etc. But I’ve often found that my contrast node in particular has the tendency to get over-complicated as a result of multiple knobs and tools being stacked up within it in order to achieve my result.

In this Insight we’re going to inventory some of the key tools available to us for contrast manipulation, looking at how they overlap, how they differ, and whether they impart a “rolling” or a linear adjustment to our image.
