The tone range from darkest on the left to the brightest on the right in the histogram. If you find that all your peaks fall on the extreme left, there is a high chance of your pic being underexposed. The histogram is a rough guide, so by looking at it, you can estimate how well your picture is exposed.

OIC... does it applies the same to histogram on both cam and PS?

and, even shooting 'under-exposed' in RAW, can they be corrected in PS or any other photo-editing softwares?

Jie di what mah?

If you're using lightroom you can bump up the fill light, exposure etc

Yes, u can. I use lightroom to do it.

Yup applies to in camera histogram as well but you need to take note as the background for night macro shots are often black or very dark, so it normal to see a lot of peaks on the left. However, you should also see a peak somewhere in the middle which represents the exposure for your subject.

If the raw files are underexposed, then just bring up the exposure and brightness in PS or Lightroom but you will also see noise coming up if you need to bring the exposure up a lot. So its better to expose the subject correctly when you are shooting it.

eh... i thought you said you don't have PS? So you're using lightroom....

True. You can also use noise reduction to reduce noise. Lightroom come with it, PS need to add on.

Yeah. Good for mass processing.

I need CS for my own pics

I see... sounds different coming from IR background as it is better of have under-exposed IR images so that the whiteness of foliages and clouds will not looks over-exposed after channel swapping...

Maybe one of these days i go over to your house and re-learn from you?

Check Facebook. Oh wait. :bsmilie:

One thing I'm worried about is that sharpness is lost when you do noise reduction and sharpness is very important in macro. Is there any way to reduce noise without lowering sharpness?

Sure no problem!! I can show you on my camera for the histogram part, its not to difficult to read the peaks.

Adobe cam RAW got anot?

noise reduction plug-in fro PS is free anot?

if not, i will play around more with CaptureONE... hopefully it has.. LOL

You can Sharpen
