What does tone mean?

Tone is a term in photography, because photography using light and shadow changes has a visual change of music. For photographic works, "hue" is also called the hue or hue of photos.

Tone is the tone of a photo, which is actually what we often call light and shadow. Tone is to shape the shape, express emotions and render the atmosphere by dealing with the light and dark levels of photos, so tone is to deal with the relationship between black, white and gray of photos. Color can be ignored at this time, which is also different from color tone. Tone actually refers to the relationship between colors, so don't confuse the two.

Tone can be divided into high-key, medium-key and low-key from lightness, and can also be divided into long span, medium span and short span from pixel distribution span. In this way, they can produce at least 9 timbre styles through combination. Of course, this way of dividing tones is not unique, but can only be used as a way for us to learn tones.
