Leicester Cathedral photoshop equalise This bit here is still a bit messy . Feel free to add notes or comments I've discovered a very cool thing for really high contrast photos. Leicester cathedral ,a lot of my shots turned out like this. No flash used ISO 800 around 1/50th of a sec hand held. I have a morbid fear of lugging around a tripod and the attention it attracts. It was gloomy inside but had lamps lit which really threw things out. This is where a film camera wins hands down against a digital camera. original photo on left 2nd pic has a simple photoshop adjustment namely tab at top 3rd from left Image/adjustments/equalise, now you can see what it is. This is photoshop elements 2. 3rd pic is the 2 images combined on 2 layers and tweaked. I selected the brights from original photo with the magic wand at around 150 and put them on a new layer on the 3rd image to tone the white glare of the lamps etc down a bit. Basically if an image is sharp you can rescue it. I wouldn't rate it much as a photo still but at least you can see what it is.
