Watch this video to learn how to fix challenging exposure issues

Fixing images that are underexposed (too dark) or overexposed (too light) can be a real challenge. In this video, we will be looking at two different images with two different exposure issues. One will be processed on a Mac with Luminar, fixing exposure on the image that is overall too dark. The other image will be processed on a PC with Luminar, with a challenge of correcting subjects that are shot into the sun so that they are too dark against a lighter sky.

You will learn how to use Luminar's RAW Develop filter to:

Use White Balance settings
Adjust Temperature and Tint sliders to manually adjust color temperature
Utilize the Eyedropper tool for color control
Try other options other then the Exposure slider to adjust exposure
Show how to use Clipping warnings
Selectivity lighten colors in an image
Add a filter effect to specific areas with the Masking Brush
