I understand that being of lower gain, it will reduce the absolute black level of the image by "absorbing" its' light.
How, it it actually does, can this increase shadow detail?
I mean, if there is a threshold in which blacks start to meld together to form the solid, grey image, how does darkening this point help the blacks below that point that were already missing?
for example:
Lets say my projector can produce black 5, 6, 7, 8 (as subjective levels), and I see them in my image, but black 0,1,2,3,4 I can't see at all as they are all combined to form a solid grey.
Now, if using the greyhawk, I make black 5 more like black 2, in terms of darkness, what happens to 0,1,2,3,4? What I am trying to say is this.
If you have shadow detail made up of an array of shades of black and grey, and yoru projector can only reproduced up to a certain point....with the greyhawk, you are only taking the limited reproduction of what you had, and darkening it, while still eliminating those the projector could not produce, correct?
