Description
This filter tries to simulate the well known Dragan effect by Andrzej Dragan. I'm not sure if this will work as supposed on every image, so I'm going to fix it on the go.It uses a "safe mask", for preventing darker areas to become too dark, that needs to be adjusted. Pay special attention to Safe mask compression and Safe mask threshold, because they are strictly correlated and probably when you change one you need to adjust the other too. There are many controls working with highlights and shadows at different passes, so just try to understand what does what. And absolutely don't forget to enjoy it!
