But it loves contrast, no? Global contrast as well as local contrast.

Normal BW portrait, 8.5:

Same image with clarity upped to 100% (horrible, IMHO), 8.6:

It does like contrast! Hm, the score change is sufficiently low to be within the error bars I'd say. I agree that the upped clarity is less beautiful, but it adds a nice touch of sharpness which Keegan likes a lot as well!

The first one looks too blurry to me and the second too sharp; did you try an intermediate one?

You can do a lot worse with contrast/clarity than that.
