Learn how to very, very quickly fix the exposure of every day
A snapshot is a record of an image state, a stored rendition. By creating snapshots, you can easily compare the effects of adjustments you have made.
snapshots. To achieve this quick effect, we cover duplicating the image layer a few times and setting its
Blending mode controls how the layer interacts with other layers. For example, the blending mode "multiply" looks at the color of your layer and multiplies the base color by the blend color. The result is always a darker color. Multiplying with black results in black, multiplying with white leaves the color unchanged.
That was so easy! Thanks for the upload!
Two questions:
1 - how do you correct over exposure?
2 - I recently visited a friend's Facebook page. The profile picture was of their family at the beach in full daylight. They all were dressed in white shirts and tan pants. I'm guessing they had a professional photographer. In broad daylight I would have thought the picture would have too much sunlight (i guess that's called over exposure?). But the picture was perfect! No glare no nothing... Perfect.
Would you think the photographer used the same process to correct?
@Brady, The easiest way to fix an overexposed photo is to open it in Photoshop and choose Image> Adjustments> Shadow/Highlight. As for your second question, without seeing the photo it's hard to say, but as long as the sun wasn't directly facing the lens, the easiest way to get exposure right is in broad day light (lack of light is the tricky bit in photography). If the sky was really bright, then the photog might have taken two shots with different exposures (one for the subjects, one for the sky) and then merged them in Photoshop.
