Since it really is impossible to recreate the light of the real world, the trick is in compressing and exaggerating the contrasting values of reality. By placing the lightest value next to, or near the darkest value, luminosity appears. Thanks for asking !

Ah! Thank you so much for explaining it! Although, I am sure it’s a LOT harder than you make it seem. 🙂
