Mark: Adding new normal layers will increase the doc's file size. Instead, just add a Levels Adjustment layer, and set it to Linear Dodge; same as Wendy's.

B7 Totally cool Mark! Never knew this one before but I just tested it and the results are "identical"! [righton]

Forget the 'mask' Ian... a brown paper bag just might do the trick though! [:I

Thanks for sharing Wendy,

I tried that. It works in some images, but for some other images, after applying the color dodge, I adjust the percentage of the capacity (I used 43%) and the image is improved.

Nice tips!!

Oh yes, Diella... it's going to be very much dependent of the degree of underexposure! Using your slider on the opacity level is a "must"!

Duplicate layer and set mode to Screen then adjust opacity to suit. For and under exposed photo you can duplicate layer, set mode to multiply the opacity to suit.
