Description
Olympic National Park/Hoh Rain Forest
I used a technique I just learned from the Dec. 03' edition of my "PCPhoto" Magazine. The techniqe is Titled "Density Mask", by columnist Lewis Kemper. It is basically a simple techniqe to correct underexposed photos by using a negative b&w copy of the origional as an adjustable mask...I think it's so cool...I'm thinking of e-mailing Mr. Kemper to say "this is cool technique!...-Peace :-)"

I used PS6, but this technique would work fine w/psp, elements, as well as an array of similar graphic programs. Please let me know if you would like me to forward the complete instructions to you. I would be more than happy to do so. I am not sure that this photo here was the best example for for this procedure, but it did make quite a difference in lightening up the more-dark areas of the photo. The Elk, and Trees were really dark to begin with...also this is only my second photo I've done this to.
Thanks for looking, -Peace :-)
