PhotoLab 4’s Light panel has a useful Smart Lighting feature that does a similar job. Photographers often use spot metering to prioritize the exposure for a particular part of the scene (such as a bright sky or a building in shadow). You can also adjust a specific area using manual brushes, which enables you to selectively dodge (lighten) or burn (darken) particular areas with great precision (like an old school analogue dark room photographer), but PhotoLab also uses auto-masking 'control points' inherited from DxO's takeover of the Nik Collection.
One of most useful equalizer sliders is ClearView Plus (Elite edition only), which uses localised contrast adjustments to cut through atmospheric haze and give flat-looking pictures much more contrast. (Image credit: George Cairns/Digital Camera World)Īfter applying a selective adjustment you can tweak a range of properties via a clever multi-function equalizer that sits next to the area that you’re working on. Here we’re using ClearView Plus to claw back more detail in distant haze. Local adjustments such as Control Points enable you to target a specific region and tweak a host of properties.
