Tune Image Modifier

Tune Image provides a quick and intuitive way to enhance an image’s overall appearance by adjusting key visual parameters such as contrast, clarity, and sharpness. It is designed as a compact, all-in-one correction tool for fine-tuning rendered or composited images without requiring multiple separate nodes.

Contrast

Adjusts the difference between light and dark areas. Increasing contrast deepens shadows and brightens highlights, while decreasing it flattens the image’s tonal range.

Color Boost

Enhances the intensity of colors without oversaturating them. Useful for enriching dull or washed-out images.

Clarity

Emphasizes midtone contrast and local details, improving the sense of depth and definition.

Detail

Adjusts the visibility of small-scale texture information. Higher values bring out fine details; lower values smooth them.

Sharpen

Increases edge definition by enhancing high-frequency detail. Useful for counteracting blur from downsampling or lens effects.

Preserve Colors

Maintains natural color balance when applying tonal adjustments. When disabled, contrast and clarity may shift the color hue or saturation.
