That's a hard one: The overexposed areas just don't have any content available to "bring out" with filters or adjustments, so reducing the "shine" by any worthwhile amount would be more like making a painting from scratch than editing a photo. We are used to seeing things similar to this in real life, and the eye/brain automatically compensate for it; but changes to the overexposed areas will usually look "unnatural" and only draw attention to them. In some instances it is possible to take multiple photos at different exposures, and combine them so that the over- and underexposed parts are discarded, leaving one natural looking image. This would typically be done in landscape or similar photography were the camera is on a tripod and the scene changes very slowly if at all. But humans are moving targets... I do hope that someone has useful techniques to suggest, but I don't hold out much hope for that. :o/ Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
