As an alternative you can create a LUT that alters the contrast the way you want and create a new stanza in the config.OCIO Read: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/65948/… | |

When you make the key light brighter, it can make the shadows seem darker because the rest of the image becomes lighter. Even low-key renders/photos need to have little parts that are bright, otherwise the image just looks underexposed or washed out. Maybe you should further consider your approach and could maybe post a screenshot of your scene and explain your goals with lighting? | |
