[QUOTE="hark, post: 720950, member: 13196"] Since you allow image editing, I want to point out something. The color red is more difficult to edit than some of the other colors. When you edit, be sure you turn on your clipping masks (which you already turned on). I took the liberty of opening your photo in Camera RAW (which has the same features available as Lightroom). Photoshop also has the same option to display what I am going to explain. I just happen to prefer working in Camera RAW for this type of editing. Please notice the 2 circled triangles in the upper right. Those are your clipping masks. If either/both triangles are illuminated with various colors (red, black, white, blue, etc), it means the blacks and/or whites are being clipped. And when clipping occurs, details in the blacks and/or whites isn't visible. The blacks/whites are simply too underexposed or over exposed to display details. Some photos have a huge dynamic range (which is when bracketing multiple images can be helpful). [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]327385._xfImport[/ATTACH] To view how much of the blacks are being clipped, I held down the ALT button then clicked on the black slider (where arrow is pointing). Notice how your image changes. All those colored areas in your image are being clipped - meaning details within the blacks are missing. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]327386._xfImport[/ATTACH] And I did the same thing with the white slider to show the areas being clipped in the whites. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]327387._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is a video that goes into a little more detail on clipping. There is more than one way to display the clipped areas. In the video, she mentions hitting the J key (shortcut) or even clicking on the triangles. Lynda.com is one of several sources that offers excellent information. Anyway, I'm just giving you a gentle push towards being aware during editing. Just take it one step at a time! ;) [MEDIA=youtube]vQBzixj1CGY[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
