More depth in a kitchen photo
A dim kitchen may look flat even when its furnishings are visible. A modest increase separates cabinets from walls and gives furniture edges more presence. Watch the window area: pushing further can turn light surfaces into featureless white.

Stronger separation along the coast
Sea, sky and rocks often sit close together in a hazy coastal photograph. Raising contrast can distinguish these existing bands and deepen the shoreline. It does not remove atmospheric haze or invent sharp texture in distant cliffs.

Softer contrast in a backlit portrait
Harsh backlighting can put bright hair beside dark clothing. Moving the slider below zero narrows that gap for a gentler portrait. Shadows become lighter, but pixels that were already completely black or white still contain no recoverable detail.
