Shadow and highlight enhancement refers to an image processing technique to correct exposure photography exposure . The use of this technique is becoming more and more popular cn date April 2012 , making its way onto magazine covers, digital media, and photos. It is, however, considered by some by whom? date April 2012 to be akin to other destructive cn date April 2012 Photoshop filters, such as the Watercolor filter, or the Mosaic filter. Recovering Shadows A conservative application of the shadow highlight tool can be very useful in recovering shadows, though it tends to leave a telltale halo around the boundary between highlight and shadow if used incorrectly. A way to avoid this is to use the bracketing technique, although this usually requires a Tripod photography tripod . Recovering Highlights Recovering highlights with this tool, however, has mixed results, especially when using it on images with skin in them, and often makes people look like they have been sprayed with fake tan . Manual Ways to Brighten Shadows One way to brighten shadows in image editing software such as Gimp or Adobe Photoshop is to duplicate the background layer, invert the copy and set the blend modes of that top layer to Soft Light . You can also use an inverted black and white copy of the image as a mask on a brightening layer, such as Curves or Levels. Automatic Shadow Recovery Methods There exist a number of automatic computer image processing based shadow recovery and dynamic range compression methods that yield a similar effect. Some of these methods include the retinex method and homomorphic range compression . The retinex method is based on work from 1963 by Edwin Land , the founder of Polaroid. ref Russ, John C. The Image Processing Handbook, 5th Ed. CRC Press 2007, pg. 147. ref Shadow enhancement can also be accomplished using adaptive image processing algorithms such as adaptive histogram equalization or contrast limiting adaptive histogram equalization CLAHE .
