Correcting Exposure - Part II

Time and opportunity permitting.. and hopefully, you have Photoshop, if not? You might be able to use/figure out the steps of the following tutorial by philcUK for the image editor you do use:

"Faking the HDR thing..."

The object is to open the shadows and bring out some more detail of your scene/image.


Well, one of the things that you can do via the tutorial, which works with the luminance of an image.

I would suggest, if you don't have Photoshop.. to do a google search using the terms; "(your image editor's name) open shadows photo". Or, something similar.


Here is a quick and dirty example (I downloaded your image and edited it using the tutorial mentioned above):

"france and switzerland hollidays 296" - Shadows/Highlights Adjusted

Looks like some HDR use nope?

The tutorial does simulate HDR, yes.

The key, though, and the point of my comment above was that of focusing on the Shadows/Highlights step of the tutorial more so.
