Achieving the perfect exposure with REFINED presets and profiles can significantly enhance your photography, making editing smoother and faster. Follow these expert tips to ensure you're metering and exposing correctly, whether you're dealing with tricky backlighting or standard lighting situations.
Metering For Optimal Exposure
At REFINED, we recommend always aiming for proper exposure. This means capturing a balanced image without blowing out the highlights, which is especially crucial when dealing with backlit scenes.
Tips for Backlighting:
Maintain Highlight Details: When shooting with backlighting, ensure your highlights are preserved. This technique allows you to easily enhance the subject in post-processing using our advanced tone curve feature.
Post-Processing Advantage: By metering for the highlights, you can utilize REFINED’s unique tone curve to bring out the details in the subject area during editing, ensuring a well-balanced and visually appealing final image.
Standard Lighting Situations:
Middle Exposure Mastery: In non-backlit scenarios, achieving a proper middle exposure is key. This approach not only maintains image integrity but also speeds up the editing process, often reducing it to just one click with REFINED presets.
