Can someone help me with the over exposer of this photo and guid me through how you go about fixing it? What program was used and such, I am a new guy with very little talent for editing. Any help at all and I'll be greatful. It won't let me post the image! What do I do? http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o276/sparkstyson/800.jpg <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o276/sparkstyson/800.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a>
post it first on photobucket, then copy the URL, with image tags included and paste this into your post
I'll give it a try when I get home... I don't think that we'll be able to do much because once it's overexposed the details are lost in that area when PSing... at least that's my expierence...
Sorry, but with digital you can't fix overexposure except by not overexposing. Exposure is critical in photography. With negative film you have options during printing, but with slide film and digital, there is little you can do.
This is as far as I tried to go. Levels in Photoshop. First overall: midtones to -80. Then I selected the building with the lasso tool and a feather of 150px and lowered the midtones selectively again to -10. I would not dare to go any further.
I agree... now that I look at it... but like I and Digital Matt said there isn't much that can be done with it without making it look fake.
