how to fix overexposed images
as i mentioned in my "how to fix an underexposed photo" tutorial, the best way to avoid these lighting problems is to adjust your aperture settings, your shutter speed and your film speed when shooting. ok, so we're going to pretend we did do all of those things but find that we still have a problem image, which can happen when there is too much flash or too much sunlight.
the easiest way to fix an overexposed photo is to open it in photoshop and choose image> adjustments> shadow/highlight (cs-only. for pre-cs look below). you'll see an immediate change in your photo and it will probably be too extreme, but just use this setting as a starting point. photoshop ships with defaults that are often way over the top. just play with the amount slider and the tonal width slider in both the shadows and the highlights until you find just the right balance. and that's it!
the above photo is overexposed. the photo suffers from some loss of detail and is just too bright. below is the same photo after applying the shadow/highlight filter.
fixing overexposed photos, pre-cs — the layer sandwich trick
if you don't have cs, then the following trick will help you achieve similar results.
step 1 — new layer
open your photo and make a copy of the background layer by choosing layer> duplicate layer, or by dragging it to the new layer icon at the bottom of the layers palette.
step 2 — change the blend mode
in the layers palette change the blend mode of the new layer from normal to multiply. this will darken the photo uniformly.
step 3 — repeat
now repeat the entire procedure again. create a new layer, change the blend mode to multiply, and then take a look at the result. continue doing this until you go from "it's almost perfect" to "it's ruined!"
step 4 — lower the opacity
now leave that last layer active even though it's taken you too far and lower the opacity using the slider at the top right of the layers palette. this lowers the intensity of the effect. when you've found the right amount, you can flatten your image.
step 5 — flatten and save
choose layer> flatten or use the palette’s flyout menu and choose flatten image. that's it. save your file (file> save) and you're done.

sitegrinder photoshop plugin - create websites instantly
there often seems to be a strict division of labor within the world of web design and development. creative professionals tend to stick to the photoshop domain, while those well-versed in scripting are left to the task of implementing their work. indeed, the two realms are quite different from each other, to which any of us even vaguely familiar with either can easily attest.
essentially, photoshop is a no-holds-barred design studio, offering the artist a seemingly endless array of creative options. on the other hand, html, css, java and the like follow strict rules of engagement, requiring the developer to take any number of esoteric concerns into consideration in order to ensure that designs are properly displayed on the web.
turn photoshop into a complete web design tool
sitegrinder seeks to bridge this gap between design and development. basically, this program turns photoshop into an easy-to-use and fully functional web design tool. with sitegrinder, designers will now have the freedom to totally let their creativity loose and then, without skipping a beat, transfer their designs to the web. bringing esthetic concerns together with more practical considerations, this program is an amazingly powerful tool that would make a fantastic addition to any web designer's bag of tricks.
generate your web pages directly from photoshop
by generating web pages directly from photoshop, you'll be able to spend much more time on the creative end of the spectrum, since you'll know right off the bat how well particular designs will translate to the web. no more going back to the photoshop drawing board after getting a phone call from your development team, telling you that what you had envisioned doesn't have a chance of being displayed on the web. you can immediately visually and interactively test your designs, which permits you to then make changes to either esthetics or functions while it's still relatively early on in the design process.
pricing and availability
mac os x and windows versions of the sitegrinder unlockable demo are available now via download. sitegrinder can be ordered from media lab's online store.
