Digital Monochrome - part 3 of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

by Paul Gallagher Published 01/02/2012

Fig 4 With the highlights sorted, I turned my attention to the clipped shadows. For this I used the 'fill light' slider to remove almost all of the shadow clipping. As this process takes place, the entire image becomes brighter as this affects not simply the shadows, but all of the image.

Fig 5 As a result of using the 'fill light' slider, I felt that the overall image was too light and had lost a little of the contrast I wanted. I used the exposure slider to darken the image slightly but still retained the shadow detail I had recently recovered.
