  2. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    Both processes affect the resulting color mixture's relative saturation. A tone is produced either by mixing a color with gray , or by both tinting and shading. [ 1 ] Mixing a color with any neutral color (including black, gray, and white) reduces the chroma , or colorfulness , while the hue (the relative mixture of red, green, blue, etc ...

    Christ at Rest, by Hans Holbein the Younger, 1519, a chiaroscuro drawing using pen, ink, and brush, washes, white heightening, on ochre prepared paper.

    The Chubb illusion is similar to another visual illusion, the contrast effect.The contrast effect is an illusion in which the perceived brightness or luminance of an identical central visual target form on a larger uniform background varies to the test subject depending on the ratio of the central form's luminance to that of its background.

  5. Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz–Kohlrausch_effect

    The Helmholtz–Kohlrausch effect works best in darker environments where there are not any other outside factors influencing the colors. For example, this is why theaters are all dark environments. [2] An example of this lightness factor would be if there were different colors on a grey background that all are of the same lightness.

  6. Contrast (vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_(vision)

    The maximum contrast of an image is termed the contrast ratio or dynamic range. In images where the contrast ratio approaches the maximum possible for the medium, there is a conservation of contrast. In such cases, increasing contrast in certain parts of the image will necessarily result in a decrease in contrast elsewhere.

  7. Aerial perspective - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_perspective

    Contrast sensitivity is the reciprocal of the smallest contrast for which a person can see a sine-wave grating. A person's contrast sensitivity function is contrast sensitivity as a function of spatial frequency. Normally, peak contrast sensitivity is at about four cycles per degree of visual angle. At higher spatial frequencies, comprising ...

  8. Color grading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_grading

    Color grading is one of the most labour intensive parts of video editing. Traditionally, color grading was done towards practical goals. For example, in the film Marianne, grading was used so that night scenes could be filmed more cheaply in daylight. Secondary color grading was originally used to establish color continuity; however, the trend ...

    Port with the disembarkation of Cleopatra in Tarsus (1642), by Claude Lorrain, Musée du Louvre, Paris. Light in painting fulfills several objectives like, both plastic and aesthetic: on the one hand, it is a fundamental factor in the technical representation of the work, since its presence determines the vision of the projected image, as it affects certain values such as color, texture and ...
