Balancing the exposure
You can use the Balance Exposure command in the Enhance menu to bring
out details in an image that are otherwise faint or even invisible. In general,
it’s preferable to balance the exposure of a whole image rather than a selected
area of an image. This command may improve severely overexposed or
underexposed images that can’t be fixed with the Brightness/Contrast
command.
Make sure the window you want the Balance Exposure command to affect is
frontmost, then follow these steps:
1 Choose Balance Exposure from the Enhance menu.
The Enhance dialog box appears.
If you click on the image itself while this dialog box is open, the place you
click appears in the Before and After boxes.
2 Adjust the Sensitivity and Blending sliders as necessary to achieve the exposure
you want.
3 When you’re ready to apply the exposure settings, click Enhance.
