Light > D-Lighting

The D-Lightingtool reveals details in shadows and highlights, correcting for underexposure, backlighting, or insufficient flash, all without harming the properly exposed areas of the image or introducing unwanted artifacts. D-Lighting can also help reveal detail in overexposed areas in brightly lit scenes.

The D-Lightingtool provides you with the following controls:
