Disclaimer:
In the Color Grading settings, for the Midtones, we accidentally left out an "under" – so to be clear, pixels with a luminance value over the ShadowsMax and under the HighlightsMin are considered to belong to the midtones. When increasing the contrast, we slightly assist the eye, not Jah. Even though we believe it is unambiguous what happens to the image when adjusting the gamma, we semantically mixed up the analogies of pushed and crushed. There might be more inaccuracies in this tutorial video – if you identify any significant one, please tell us in the comments.
