##### The advantage of doing multiple stretches
477
477
Rather than attempting a single stretch, in the case of images with a high WP (3 to 5), which will require a high 'Stretch factor (D)', or where the user will have difficulty locating the area where action should be prioritized, it is better to perform two stretches. The first, with moderate values, will place the data in the interval [0-1], while the second will allow for better localization of the action.

+ Note that GHS settings can cause data (depending on the GHS settings) to fall outside the [0, 1] range, both in linear and output data. Constantly monitor the histogram in both modes (working profile - linear and output profile - gamma) and make any necessary corrections.

+ In ‘Stretch Regularization & Midtones’, you ca set the value (LC) – the local contrast – to zero to avoid artifacts in the sun area. Local contrast can be addressed later in Abstract Profile.

Constantly monitor the histogram in both modes (working profile - linear and output profile - gamma) and make any necessary corrections. In reality, to give the GHS algorithm some leeway, I added 0.1 to the calculations. This means that if you open a second RT-Spot, you'll see the WP value as 1.1, not 1.

+ To see the effects, instead of a single ‘Stretch factor (D)’ with high values, you can try constructing the stretch using two RT-spots. The first with lower (D) and (b) values. The second with values adjusted to your preference. You’ll see that for this second RT-spot, the values of (BP) will be close to zero, and those of (WP) very close to 1.0 (minor adjustments are possible). The image will be different, the sun less prominent.
