[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 299371, member: 12257"] I was trying to shoot manual, but... I think I was trying to adjust aperture by button accidentally in aperture mode, but didn't realize that 1) I had different control in aperture mode. 2) Was clueless as to what happened until getting back home and fiddling a bit. I should've dug out the manual, but this will stick with me for longer. LOL My FN button is set to ISO too, so I can adjust on the fly. Hate having to bounce into the menu, and I usually shoot auto white balance in RAW, so that was the natural selection. :) As for the blown out face, here's a very quick touch up in LR. The lighting on the stage was VERY uneven, so I switched to matrix metering to try and help me get as close as I could. I might try to go back and use the burn tool in PS for a cleaner adjustment. It's either that, or drop the overall compensation and dodge a bit in the darker areas... maybe just adjust by way of the shadow tool. What ya think?
