The final image is much better. Notice how the lettering stands out more, without being too intense.
Tutorial 8: Correcting an Overexposed Image
This image is a slide taken in the late 1960s that was overexposed at the time it was shot (along with
numerous others in the family archives). Slide film's exposure latitude is less forgiving than print film, so
improperly exposed slides are fairly common.
To correct this image, follow these steps:
Open the image (
Ch3_overexposed beach
) found in the Practice Images folder
(Figure
3-48
).
1.
Figure 3-48.
Overexposed, with loss of detail
2.
Duplicate the background layer (Shift + Control + D) and rename it Detail.
Change the blend mode to Multiply (Figure
3-49
). We can see it's beginning
to work.
