2: Contrast threshold between edges and surrounding image areas, which determines edge enhancement. The smaller the number, the more the outline will be emphasized when the contrast difference is low. However, noise tends to be more noticeable when the number is smaller.

Monochrome Adjustment

Filter effect

Even with the same monochrome image, you can make white clouds, green trees, or other elements stand out more by applying a filter effect.

Filter	Sample Effects
N:None	Normal black-and-white image with no filter effects.
Ye:Yellow	Blue sky will look more natural, and white clouds will look crisper.
Or:Orange	The blue sky will look slightly darker. The sunset will look more brilliant.
R:Red	The blue sky will look quite dark. Fall leaves will look crisper and brighter.
G:Green	Skin tones and lips will appear muted. Green tree leaves will look crisper and brighter.

Note

Increasing [Contrast] will make the filter effect more pronounced.

Toning effect

By applying a toning effect, you can create a monochrome image in the selected color. Effective when you want to create memorable images.
