Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / October 2004Need Help Adjusting Over Exposed Photos On Photoshop
Can anyone tell me how to correct overexposed photos using Photoshop CS. I took some photos in a studio and they have come out overexposed by about 2 f-stops. > Can anyone tell me how to correct overexposed photos using Photoshop > CS.

Are these pictures film or digital? If digital, are they RAW or jpeg? If they're digital and RAW, you may have some leeway.

That was kind of an incomplete answer, wasn't it? :) On the other side of things, if the picture is merely too bright and you want to tone it down, use Photoshop's Levels tool to bring up the blacks and darks.

SignatureMuttley!! Doooooo Something!! Fix Outlook Express - http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ as recommended by your friendly neighbourhood MeltDown. Photos were taken with a Canon Eos 300D. The light meter in the studio wasn't working properly, that's why my photos were overexposed. Thanks for the tips. I will try using them to sort my photos. > Can anyone tell me how to correct overexposed photos using Photoshop > CS.

In Paint Shop Pro, I work on a problem like this by adjusting brightness and contrast until I get an acceptabble image. But I don't expect a lot if the exposure is off by 2 f-stops. Unless you shot in Raw Mode, your highlights are gone. 2 stops overexposed is alot in digital (just like chromes). Only suggestion I can make is to clone in the hotspots where you can. If the whole image is overexposed, you could try duplicating the layer and changing the blendmode to overly and multiply. Hope this helps. H. www.nobsphotosuccess.com |
