Multiplier, stronger influence on the highlights. (Works like Slope in the Color Balance node.)

This value (can be negative) will be added (+), linear lightens or darkens the image. (Works like Offset in the Color Balance node.)

- Midtones Start, Midtones End
Defines the start and the end of midtones range, i.e. values where the whole tonal range is divided into the highlights, midtones and shadows (there is also a smooth transition between the ranges of width 0.2 units).
