You’re absolutely right about using it with care – it’s easy to get carried away, but Local Contrast together with Unsharp Mask (again, in moderation) gives me much more like the results I’m looking for; it’s like removing a veil from the original.

All that dark fir is really hard to pull detail out of and this does the trick nicely.

Comparing digikam’s LCE method to an earlier more common method using USM for loacal contrast enhancement with large radius and small amount. Eg. radius=30 amount=30 threshold=0.
How do the parameters in digikam map to the parameters in the USM technique? Is blur (digikam) = radius (USM) and Power (digikam) = amount (USM).
