Hi, I went to a renaissance fair today and they had capt jack there. Of course when I ran into him I was by myself! I had to get a teenage girl to take our picture and I forgot to set the camera up for her. I should have put it on auto. Anyway is there anyway to save this picture? If so, can you kinda walk me through it. I have CS3 and lightroom2

Thanks in advance,

Teeny

By the way, it was 81 degrees her yesterday and today it was freezing! I hate that big coat!

All I did here was to duplicate the layer and set it to multiply mode. Other ways to do it, but this is pretty simple.

If it's RAW you can just reduce the exposure, it's only a stop or so over so should come back perfectly.

It's worth a try, but I'm not so sure. I've had much better luck with under- than overexposure.

i ran it through lightroom.. bumped the exposure down just a little.. to .38 then i ran recover and slid it up to 50%

then i put it in pscs3, made a duplicate layer, and did multiply, and adjusted the opacity to my liking.

then i ran a couple of steps to saturate colors, and bring out some contrast.

with the real image file it would have looked better.

With the 40D and CS3 or better I find a stop over easily comes back, 1.5 or 2 sometimes works too. HTP seems to help too. With older cameras and software overexposure was more of an issue.
