[QUOTE="hark, post: 456141, member: 13196"] Pete, can you allow some of the members to edit your file to see what options they can achieve? Haven't you allowed access via Dropbox in the past? When I've shot some of the drama photos, some had really blown highlights. Amazingly there is a lot of latitude to bring back detail. My suggestion would be to use the exposure compensation button when photographing the birds to get them more correctly exposed then see what blown highlights you can bring back in post. If you are shooting into the sun, there will be limits on what you can accomplish. You may wind up with detail in the bird but not in the sky. The other option is to take a separate but correct exposure of the sky then layer it in PCC along with a shot of the bird. [/QUOTE]
