STEP 5: HIGHLIGHTS

THE FINAL STEP

The final step is the highlights adjustment, which targets the brightest parts of the image. This is where the most intense light or the highest contrast exists. Highlights might be reflective surfaces, light hitting edges, or areas that naturally catch the eye. By enhancing the highlights, the artist can intensify the contrast and visual interest of the image, bringing more attention to these bright, focal points. This step can create a sense of brilliance, shine, or emphasis on the most important aspects of the image.
