[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 559168, member: 12542"] Okay this is what I did but this is what you could have done [U]provided you had[/U]: 1. SB700 Flash (or any other that was Nikon compatible flash) used as a fill in since its high noon to open the shadows. (I realize this was a snap shot not a portrait setting) 2. A reflector 36 inch or larger to reflect more light to open the harsh shadows. 3. Suggested to go earlier or later in the afternoon as I hate mid day:cool:. Hope this helps. Lou Cioccio I like using layers and masks so here is a screen capture:You can see the middle layer mode was changed to screen which really lighten the image then I used a mask and painted black (to conceal the screen layer) and show the original with the brush set at 59% percent or so. I painted in the brighter areas to become darker. I was able to get it close using raw therapee which surprised me.
