How do you change the TONE in CS?

[Mr. Stacey]

I noticed that if you shoot the COLOR in STD that the saturation slider will show 0. Inorder to make the COLOR look like ORG, you can just desaturate by moving the slider to negative value. If you shoot the COLOR in ORG then the saturation slider is STILL at 0.

So CS uses your camera settings as a benchmark. Now how do you change the TONE? Is it a combination of sliders that don't directly mean TONE? Or do you just CONVERT and use the CURVEs in Photoshop? Is TONE equivelant to CONTRAST in CS? Maybe CS starts with the ORG Tone setting?

Did you try adjusting TINT , SHADOW and SATURATION while in PhotoCS RAW ?

TINT is a fine tuning of the color and almost all of the time the Fuji default TINT is correct.

SHADOW does not necessarily mean TONE.


The main question is, how do you go from STD to ORG tone?

I do not know ... but to find out , I would shoot the same picture in RAW , using the different TONE setting and compare them in Photoshop .. playing with curve , Saturation .....

Tone is best adjusted via curves (preferrably using an adjustment layer).

Tone, in Fuji's usage is contrast. So you can use an s-curve to modify the image contrast with full control via curves or you can go into the brightness/contrast tool and do your adjustments (with less control).

I agree with BJ, the contrast control is the closest thing to tone. Setting it to 0, gives the most dynamic range. You can then fine tune it in photoshop using curves or other techniques.

As an aside, I find that setting the saturation to 0 is closer to Fuji's definition of ORG than it is to STD. I find a saturation of 0 is too low for my taste. I prefer +10 to +15 when using a contrast of 0. However, increasing the contrast tends to intensify the colors, so if you use the default contrast setting of +25, then a color saturation setting of 0 works well.
