Well, “study” is such a strong word.
Let’s call this a demonstration of how much leeway RAW on the G5 offers you. Don’t try this on JPEG, as you will be profoundly disappointed with the results.
So … I was experimenting with bounce flash using an onld Nikon SB26 in manual mode on the G5. I followed Mary’s cat “Sammy” (Samantha) around and when she ducked under a table, I fired the bounce flash. Which of course did nothing …
The original histogram is embarrassing …
But all is not lost when you are using Lightroom. There are sliders and dials and everything
Here are the settings I used to fix the exposure issues …
First, the main panel:
Next, the tone curve:
And finally, detail (sharpening and NR):
This takes all of a minute or so and the end result is quite tolerable …
The adjusted histogram is more like it …
More could be done to the image, but I think you get the drift …
