At the default middle position, image data that you push above 1023 on the internal scopes is preserved,
and passed through the image processing pipeline to subsequent nodes. For example, in the following
two screenshots, the highlights in the screenshot at top are blown out raising the gain dramatically in
node 1. In the screenshot at bottom, a subsequent adjustment in node two lowers the gain and retrieves
all the previously clipped values.
Lowering the High Clipping vertical slider, seen at top, reduces the maximum values that are
possible within in that node.
Top–the image is clipped using the Gain control in node 1; Bottom–image data that was clipped in node 1 is
retrieved in node 2 by lowering the Gain control. This illustrates the preservation of deliberately clipped data.
