higher contrast is the result of 'crushing blacks',... that is squeezing all the dark info into itself. It comes from film processing. In video or digital imaging it might be referred to as 'clipped blacks'. It is not necessarily 'higher contrast' as that could be over the entire image and still not 'crushing the blacks'... could be color contrast without clipping the colors. The real effect of crushed blacks is clipped dark areas...that is a loss of dark info. Just because an image has higher contrast doesn't mean it has crushed blacks.
- a photoshop trick on badlu lit imges is to crush the blacks but lower the contrast save skintones...vaxorcist
