I am having problems with local adjustments and highlight recovery.
When I have local adjustments (light and colors) in an areas where highlightss were recovered, even if the mask does not apply to this area, the highlight recovery is gone, and over-exposed areas re-appear.
Have anybody a method to avoid this? I am doing something incorrect?
Introducing a second filter to reduce lightness or contrast, is only a partial solution. If the recovery was significant, this will create a grey area, since this second correction is applied in a blown area.
*Activate “Show additional settings” and then “Specific cases”
*Change the default option in the “Avoid color shift” drop-down menu from “XYZ Absolute” to “Munsell only”
For some time now, probably because users are using “Local adjustments”, “Highlight” or “gamut” problems have appeared.
But these behaviors seemed a bit random. Images with highlights required acting differently than what @Wayne_Sutton highlighted above:
*Activate “Show additional settings” and then “Specific cases”
*Change the default option in the “Avoid color shift” drop-down menu from “XYZ Absolute” to “Munsell only”
But in other cases as shown by @Lawrence37 it was the opposite that had to be done. Last RT 5.10 is by default with the latter choice.
This weird behavior intrigued me and I searched the code to see what could be causing this. I discovered that in certain places I “clip” the luminance and/or color components. I brought a remedy which I explain here
