- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Briefly, when I set the exposure in LR3 under the basic tab in the develop module, if I slide the tool bar to the right to add exposure the histogram responds accordingly. However, when the histogram gets to the far right side ("exposing to the right" as I have heard it called), often times the photo appears to be overexposed, in some cases dramatically. How am I supposed to interpret that?
To my amateur eye, my photos can appear properly exposed when the histogram is 1/4" from the right side of the diagram. Can that be correct? Or should I expose to the far right side and then dial it back with other controls?
Thanks!
