V1, V2, V3

[marcwick]

I am new with Phocus and start to explore the program. Sorry for my stupid question but I did not find an answer: in the adjustment settings, exposure to light, there is V1, V2, V3
What is the difference between these three possibilities?
Thanks a lot for your help

It's in the manual, attached below. Some photographers recommend V1 for people, v2 or 3 for things like landscapes or buildings where there are more details.

No problem!

With V1 I would never touch brightness or recovery, they were essentially useless and would ruin the image.

Clarity is nice in V1 but would sometimes create big halos with some subjects. The clarity in V3 is much harsher and I rarely use it, but the recovery, brightness, shadow fill and contrast are much more targeted.

I really wish I could use V1 clarity with V3 for the kind of things I shoot.
