Step Five:
The underside of the triangle and some of the figures are kind of dark, so drag the Shadows
slider to the right to lighten those areas a bit (I dragged to +53). Then, increase the Clarity
amount quite a bit, which adds midtone contrast and makes the image more punchy and a
little brighter, too (here, I pushed it over to +35). Also, the column on the left looks really
white, so let's pull back those highlights by dragging the Highlights slider to the left (here,
I dragged to -63). I also pulled back the Whites a little to keep them from clipping. Now,
if you feel like it could still be more contrasty (I do), then go to the Tone Curve panel and
choose
Strong Contrast
from the Curve pop-up menu at the top of the Point tab (as shown
here on the right). If that's too much contrast, try Medium Contrast instead.
