Need Some Help

[Siska]

I took some photo's of a friends puppy the other day. They either came out way to dark or way to light. Just wondering if anyone has some time to have a play with them and let me know what/how you did/do what you do.

This what you are looking for?

Masked out the highlights then bumped up the brightness, lowered the contrast.

mine was just adjusting exposure.....put in some fill light. boosted the blacks and a touch of saturation and then warmed the temperature a bit...in doing so has highlighted some noise:( sorry I couldn't help

Nice job Lou! The noise comes from the low-res JPEG and is a normal side effect of what you've done. Would be better on a high-res JPEG, but could still happen and you probably found it wouldn't disappear with any noise reduction.


Siska - If you want a better picture, I can PM you my e-mail address so you can send the original to work with.
