Figure 3.9
This image is over-
exposed and has lost detail in
the clouds. To correct this, the
Exposure slider needs
to be moved to the left.

As with the underexposed image in the previous example, adjustments are made
to the Shadow, Brightness, Contrast, and Temperature sliders to finish the correction.
The final image, shown in Figure 3.11, is significantly better in both tonal range and
detail.
Figure 3.10
After lowering the
exposure by almost
2
⁄
3
of a
stop, the highlights have
moved within range and
more detail is visible in the
clouds.
The final image (shown in Figure 3.12) is much better than the original RAW
file. Although this example isn't as extreme as the underexposed image, I would not
have been able to recover the highlight detail in the clouds if it had been a JPEG file.
