Adding and removing light from your picture is very easy and can create depth and interest. ON1 Photo RAW makes it easy to fine-tune your adjustment by adding preset styles you can select easily.

If you’re looking to add exposure to a smaller area like a face you can use the perfect brush to make sure you don’t overexpose the background. Using a larger brush will allow you to add light to a larger area and then you can turn the opacity down to ensure a natural look. Not only can you add light or darken areas in your photo but you can also add color and detail using local adjustments. They allow you to quickly customize and fine-tune areas in your photo editing so you can create a unique look.
