Recovering badly exposed pictures - Shadows and highlights

This option is available in Photoshop as shadows/highlights or under another form with D-light in Nikon software packages Shadow/highlight: very efficient tool to “save” badly exposed pictures. Much better results than playing with light and contrast. Highlight darker parts then adjust highlights to get a good balance. Drawbacks: gives a kind of pastel color and generates some artifacts at the border between contrasting colors.

   

A badly exposed picture with some post-processing can become an attractive image. The result is a kind of painted landscape. This picture has been shot in Damme, a village close to Bruges, Belgium, with a D70 and an 18-70DX lens.
