Cheers, Christine
As I understand it, selective rendering is just burning and dodging on steroids. Very handy, and powerful for bringing out the best in a particular photo. But it's not an automatic feature for making a first guess at the settings. What I want is for Lightroom to set the exposure based on a particular region of the photo, and not try to make it's best guess for everything, including the parts I don't care about. > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
