The tones in an image that are between the highlights and the shadows. In a black-and-white photo, they are the gray tones, neither very light nor very dark. Skin, grass and many everyday surfaces are often midtones. On a histogram, the midtones are in the middle part of the graph. Many editing tools, such as curves and levels, let you adjust the midtones separately.
