New raw clipping indicator: Hold the shift key while refining a raw photo to see the areas that are clipped (overexposed).
Hi,
This release contains another neat feature.
Hold the shift key down in the refine screen, and any area that is 255 or over (Over exposed) will blink.
That helps us because now we know where to click and apply the Magenta grid.
Three items need mentioning.
1) You might have more than one area (grid) with a blinking alert.
You should respond to that by setting the magenta grid to try over the other area too. Many times, one click fixes them all.
2) If doing the above procedure still leaves the blinking area, it indicates that the over exposed area is so far over exposed, that it is not recoverable.
3) Often, you might find an image that has a small spot on the back of a white bird, or one small edge of a white cloud...
No need to go anal about it just because you see a small reading of 255. You have to use common sense.
Snap 008 shows the blinking area, grid 1,1 (top left)
Snap 010 shows the magenta grid applied to 1,1.
Fixed!!!
It gets better and better!
Enjoy,
Fred
