Developing the merged file

- OK. We've successfully merged the panoramic photo.…Now, you've seen a lot with the Developing controls,…but let's go in and just tone this image…so it looks good.…I want you to see some of the flexibility that we have.…The newly merged file is visible.…It's quite large.…Pan around and check the merging within the file.…Upon close look, it seems to do a pretty good job,…so I'm going to move right to the developing stage.…Let's switch to the Develop module,…and start to work with the image a bit.…I'll just work my way from top to bottom.…

I'll try an Auto Light Balance…which brings out the color a bit,…and I just want to roll that until it matches my memory.…That feels pretty good.…Let's try some Auto Tone,…and amazing how much of that sky…just came back with one click.…That was recovering the highlights there,…and in fact, I think we can probably pull…the exposure down just a bit more…and lift the overall shadows to fill that in.…That's looking just great at this point.…The dynamic range really came in handy…to cover things from the brightest highlight…
