[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 25912, member: 3903"] Well Kent, the spot metering would help you to understand how contrasty the scene is and it could give you better details in the shadow, if that's what you want to emphasize. But in this case, if you shoot RAW, you could use ARC to make one copy exposed for the highlights, then one for the shadows and then combine them with your PP program. But, sometimes there is no interesting detail in the highlights (just white). So then it's not to bad just to get what you want from the shadow and be more forgiving about the lost details in the highlights. Have a look at what I was able to bring out just with a little exposure, contrast and saturation adjustments. [ATTACH]3985._xfImport[/ATTACH] Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
