Please do not copy or place this tutorial or any graphics to any other

Many times when we take a picture, whether with
a digital camera or a 35 mm, you will have overexposed and/or underexposed
areas in your picture. The photograph that I am using for this example
is one that I took of our new back porch.
(Click on the picture for a larger size)
As you can see by the arrows you can barely
see what the porch looks like, or the back of the house. This didn't
help when I was emailing the pictures to Larry so he could check out
the house prior to my buying it ;-). The yard itself is overexposed
and the porch has the shadows of underexposure. In the Affects Menu
you will find a number of filters in Photo Fix. The first that we
want to explore is the Backlighting filter, you will also find Fill
Flash in the same menu.
Click on Backlighting and you will receive this
dialog box.
The default is set at 20 strength. I used a
strength of 40 to get this result.
To lighten up the underexposed shadowed porch
I used the Fill Flash filter. This is the dialog box.
The default strength is 40 and I used a strength
of 56 to get the following result.
As you can see, using either (or both) of these
filters on a photograph can greatly enhance your work.
I hope this helps to show you a bit of what
you can achieve by using the Backlighting and Fill Flash Filters.
