One of the tools we are proud of is our ExposureReveal database, which highlights 10 stops of light in the image allowing you to analyse the contrast ratios and lighting that was used on set when that image was recorded. It works through advanced False color based on stops rather than IRE which is how False Color often works. You can try it out below.
To make the most of this tool a bit of exposure theory is needed. If you would like to learn more about exposure theory, contrast ratios and Middle Grey, click here.
Contrast Ratios 08
The only difference between the images in this collection is the lighting ratios used. Use this set of images as a reference for what lighting ratio you want to use for your project.
