- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I am still quiet new to photography and am having problems telling if my photos are correctly exposed or not. And especially in photos where different parts of the image intentionally have different exposures like low-key portraits, but also when the subject has very dark hair which seems to be under exposed while the face is not.
Is there any software that could help me with this? Or is there any advice for being able to judge exposure by eye. I do not have a light meter at the moment and not able to get one at this time.
Here are two photos I have had trouble with for example:
With the next photo I increased the shadows to bring back detail to the hair but I'm not so sure about it, it feels a little washed out now... I'm also not so sure about the exposure of the whole picture in general.
