## Step 4: Tone Mapping (continued) Use the controls on the Tone Mapping Settings palette to adjust the tone mapped image to your liking. Try both tone mapping methods with your image: The Details Enhancer method increases local contrast, which has the effect of boosting shadows and may create a painterly effect. The Tone Compressor method produces a more "photographic" look. For a detailed tutorial on using the settings, please refer to the video tutorial on Tone Mapping of our website. Once you are satisfied with the tone mapping method and settings, click on the Process button. The final tone mapped image is in 16 bits/channel mode. When you save the image, you can choose to save it as 8-bit JPEG, if desired. Saving as 16-bit TIFF is recommended for further processing.
