Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Fixing overexposure with Camera Raw, part 2, part of Photo Tools Weekly.
- [Instructor] The next step in our project is to take…a look at if we can fix the exposure issue in this image.…As I mentioned, this is a photograph…of my brother-in-law Pete and his bride.…And what I want to do with this image is fix…the exposure issue in this area right here,…and I want to point out that while I'm working…on a specific type of photograph with an exposure issue,…this technique or this workflow works…on any exposure issues exactly the same.…Well, how do we do this?…What we do is we have the Smart Object layer above,…we'll go ahead and double click that…to reopen the Camera Raw controls.…
In the Camera Raw controls, we want to adjust the settings…so that we have better exposure in the problem area.…In our case, in this overexposed area here,…so I'll bring down my highlights, bring down my exposure,…decrease some of the contrast so it's not quite…so defined in that area, maybe warm it up just a little bit,…and make some pretty drastic adjustments.…Now the entire image, it doesn't look very good,…
