A good histogram should be somewhere between evenly spread and a little on the right, but not so much that highlights are clipped. The higher frequency light has more data, so a slightly overexposed pic will have more details than one that's underexposed. Hey, I use the histogram on the camera, and have read a little about how to use them. And yah "even spread" is good

Because the histrogram is based on a JPG image, not the RAW. Any settings you have in the camera also effects the histrogram. Gear List

Good info! mbze430 wrote: And to disprove this whole idea that is good capture is a evenly distributed histrogram... A low-key shot or a high-key shot will never let you have an "evenly" distributed histrogram. I should have said, "If your histogram is evenly distributed, it will probably be a good shot for you." Anything else can be fixed in PS, and by the time she tries low- and high-key shots, she'll understand it all, I'm guessing. John

I brightened it a little and increased contrast very slightly. I also clone-stamped out part of the bags under her eyes. Don't know whether it makes the child look more like herself or less. You'd have to decide... Oh, and I used NeatImage a little bit to attempt to remove some of the JPEG compression artifacts.  I know poor little thing, she has what the doc calls allergy shinners.dark circles under her eyes, me too. But jbkalla, great job she looks beautiful. I will check out that neatimage too. Thanks.

Then draw over the circles. It works pretty well. John

It works pretty well. NeatImage Pro on Mac and NeatImage Pro+ on PC are plugins for PS, but they do make a standalone version that is cheaper. There is a free noise reduction program called NoiseWare Community Edition, I think, if you'd rather not spend money on NeatImage or NoiseNinja. Gorgeous kid! Very cute! hey jbkalla, I use PSE3.0 will the plug in work with this?Probly not huh? I'm writing this down clone stamp ect. Thankyou. I'll try it. And thanks for the nice words on hanna, I agree she is a cutie, and she is a great kid too. But she is mine so what else would I say

What did the meter in the viewfinder tell you? Did you use centre weighted metering? I use standalone Neat Image Pro and it's worth every cent. Can you tell Hanna something for me? Tell her, that shade of lipstick is HER  Paul. Hey meaty0, I think the meter wasn't quite in the middle, but close. I thought it looked ok for being inside. And yes I will let hanna know to stick with that shade. She is 6 going on 40. Pure women. LOL
