Figure A.1. High density range in camera negative.
The image on the left hand side of the top row is a DPX scan of a Vision 2 500T negative film (Kodak 5218). The scan shows clipping in the candle lights which becomes visible when the image is color corrected to a lower brightness level (bottom row).
The scan on the right hand side of the top row was made with an extended dynamic range of 2.2 instead of the standard value 2.046 log D. The color corrected image in the bottom row shows no clipping.
