Too much contrast, in the context of the print I was talking about,
means that the tonal gaps between the printed tones are too great,
giving sharp, jerky transitions between tones. In the face, for
instance, there are only two tones, and there's a sharp edge between
them, which is what I meant when I said the tones in the face are
posterized.
