You rang sir?
This one?

That is a great thread however, I was actually referring to a thread that discussed the relationship between the Fine contrast slider and the highlights, midtones, and shadows sliders. I didn’t see anything related to that in that link you just shared.

Here is the thread on this subject to which I was referring.

FilmPack Fine contrast question

Because I am working on a fairly small laptop screen at present I can’t easily do a side-by-side comparison, which is why I’m asking this question the answer to which might be self-evident if I could easily do such a comparison. My question is about the Fine contrast Advanced settings. If I set Fine contrast slider at -50 and Midtones (advanced slider) at +100, is this the equivalent of setting the Midtones to +50 but setting the main slider to 0, and so on for any of the other Fine contrast se…

I also believe there may have been a second thread on the subject that may have gone into even more detail on the Fine contrast sliders, if I recall correctly.
