In the example images at right, an
overexposed original is shown in two
different image categories. Because
the original was overexposed to
begin with, choosing the
Overexposed image category had the
result of neutralizing the exposure,
resulting in a better image.
The same original did not fare as well
when it was assigned the Standard
image category (too
bright overall, not enough contrast), because this image category is best used for
originals of fairly good quality (sharp, neither underexposed nor overexposed). In this
case, the original is with flawed exposure settings.
This example then shows the importance of choosing the correct image category that
corresponds most closely to your original to obtain optimal results.
