Hello!
Today we had some trouble on D-AIPH. At the end I had a few minutes for photographing. Nice weather here! But sadly the wide fuselage is much too bright. I only have Paint... and Photohands (Casio). Photoshop is much too expensive for a guy like me. Can you help me to reduce the white? Is it possible to reduce only the fuselage? Otherwise the technician and the ground will get too dark. Any suggestions on the camera settings? I use an EOS D30.
If somebody edits my shot (feel free...) what if I sell a copy at a.net? I mean, quite often photographers thank some friends as they edited their shots. Are they payed too? They made the photo look good. I don't think anyone will by a print of this photo. But in general this case happens sometimes, doesn't it?
Thank's for your replies the last times! I had them in mind (reducing the size to about 1000pixels and so on, sharpening in photohands looks crap).

Hello! Well, let's see. First of all, Photoshop Elements it's a way much cheaper and does more or less the same as far as basic settings and editings is concerned. About this photo, the quality is low, is this the original? I personally thing is a much more overexposed and It wont make it, even if it is an interesting shot. Congrtulations anyways! I would have had the ISO at 100 and and aperture mode of 8 to 11 for this shot.

There is nothing to save. Next time examine your histogram while shooting or use Auto-Exposure-Bracketing (AEB). RAW doesn't help here as the D30 doesn't support exposure compensation (software-wise).

OK. Thanks for the help guys. Today it`s my last morning shift (getting up at 04.30...) So I`ll give it another try today as I can sleep tomorrow. Thanks again! Nice to see a data base editor commenting this one! Thanks!

Stephan
I would have under exposed by at least 2/3 for this shot.
Its always better to under expose then over expose .
Especially on whites like this shot

Unless you are shooting in RAW format.
Stephan, was this in RAW? If so, could you email it to me?

If it's a RAW file, who cares what the camera will and won't do with it? Let's see what CS2 does with it.

Quoting Viv (Reply 9): I prefer good images out of the camera, not out of the PC.
Hey Viv,
that's all well and good, but we're talking about whether this shot can be saved from its overexposure. If you're doing what Bruce Fraser suggests, then the shot would look like this out of the camera, and the raw converter will turn it into that perfectly exposed shot.. just without the noise in the shadows.
