Perceptual Tone Mapping

Perceptual tone mapping has been enhanced within LightWorks to improve both quality and flexibility. This enhanced functionality provides a completely automatic tone mapping mechanism that does not require user-intervention.

This enhancement means that users can create natural-looking images more easily, particularly when using LightWorks Global Illumination or physically based light intensities in non-radiosity rendering modes.

The enhanced perceptual tone-mapping mechanism is especially useful in situations where the scene contains very large variations in brightness, where it will produce more natural-looking images without requiring any user input.
