Editing Dappled Light
Looking for tips for editing scenes with dappled sunlight. It seems I have to increase the exposure in the shadow spots and decrease the exposure in the bright spots while significantly lowering the highlights. I’m using a brush to select all the bright/shadow spots for a mask layer, which can be quite tedious. Seems easier to suddenly ruin everything when making adjustments compared to photos without dappled light. I’ve attached the straight out of camera jpegs, which look off. Trying to fix them with the raw files, but having a tough time getting them to look right.
