The HDRSoftClipper component allows you to set the upper and lower soft clipping of color channels.
Visual part |
If some colors at the input of the component lie outside the LDR range, it makes sense to apply a soft limit (soft clipping) to them. Unlike simple clipping, in which the color channel that has gone beyond LDR is simply equated to the upper or lower border, soft clipping allows you to save the "blown out" details of the image (image areas whose colors lie outside LDR). A built-in histogram in the component makes it easy to assess the need and degree of application of soft-clipping in each case.
The component presents four horizontal boundaries: the upper and lower boundaries of the upper soft-clipping area, as well as the upper and lower boundaries of the lower soft-clipping area. These boundaries can be adjusted by using the mouse. In addition, you can change the curvature of the soft clipping area by adjusting the node in the middle of the area (a small circle) with the mouse.
The context menu is available by right - clicking on any area of the component.
