Geert,

Thank you so much for taking the time to show those steps! I have copied them down and I will try doing this as soon as I can. I have done all my shooting in raw mode but usually just convert them to a jpg for minor adjustments, because that's all that is possible and sometimes even the minor adjustments are difficult or cause some degradation.

I always hoped to find the time to learn more and so I saved every photo in untouched raw mode in case I could one day do more. I think this technique could help me salvage many past photos with these types of exposure problems.

Thank you again!

Wayne
