Shadows Midtones Highlights
The Shadows Midtones Highlights effect separately controls the shadows, midtones, and highlights of the render. Unlike Lift, Gamma, Gain, you can use this effect to precisely define the tonal range for shadows, midtones, and highlights.
Using Shadows Midtones Highlights
Shadows Midtones Highlights uses the Volume framework, so to enable and modify the shadows, midtones, or highlights of the render, you must add a Shadows Midtones Highlights override to a Volume in your Scene. To add Shadows Midtones Highlights to a Volume:
- In the Scene or Hierarchy view, select a GameObject that contains a Volume component to view it in the Inspector.
- In the Inspector, navigate to Add Override > Post-processing and click on Shadows Midtones Highlights. URP now applies Shadows Midtones Highlights to any Camera this Volume affects.
