Photoshop CS3 RAW

[Christoffer Glans]

I was working with some still photographs in CS3's RAW tools. What I like about CS3's tool is it's ability improve the "fill light" so that dark areas gets a brighter while the highlights stay the same. Now, if you make it almost 100% it looks like an IR-photography.

What exactly is the technology behind this? Is it possible to make a similar option for when working with redcode RAW files?

I think you may use Curves for that purpose.

but there are allot of softwares that can manipulate color and light.

I'm talking about CS3's RAW handling tool, not photoshop's usual tools.
This is not curves, it's a sort of "negative" exposure that balance up the dark areas but keep the highlights.

It does not look at all like when you change curves. What I mean is that this tool together with the other RAW functions in CS3 gives the option to create really high dynamic images, almost IR-like without getting too much noise.
I'd like to see something similar in redcine or red alert.
