CLARITY AND NOISE

Clarity can be great for textures and detail, but it can have an adverse effect on parts of an image, too. It tends to push tones into shadow, so you might need to counter this by increasing the Shadows slider. It can also result in haloes around high-contrast edges like horizons, and a heavy approach can introduce noise. To counter increased image noise, head to the Detail Panel and set Noise Luminance to around 30.
