quote: If I understand the tutorial correctly, the technique requires two exposures of the same scene to be taken. The first one to expose the details in the highlights and the second to expose the details in the shadow.
Is this correct?
Yes, this is correct... for certains shots two exposures are needed. However, I've found with some photos (taken in RAW format) we can duplicate the 'layer' in a photo editing soft, so we have two photos. With the necessary tools, we adjust the uppermost photo in the layers. Then we take the eraser tool and remove (in this photo example) all around the strong light source (uppermost layer). We then flatten the image.
However, this method is difficult to use on this photo as the light source is very, very strong.
