Images with very dark darks or very bright brights can confuse the camera’s sensor and give us an incorrect reading. Sometimes even if we set our exposure correctly, our image might still come out too dark because of the metering mode we’re using. Just know that you may need to compensate with the flash in some way (turn down the power, increase the distance between it and your subject) or your subject will be overexposed. You can slow down your shutter, raise your ISO or open up your aperture. To fix this, you’ll need to change your settings to let more light into the camera and increase that ambient light. If your subject is well lit but your background is too dark, the problem is your flash exposed for your subject but not the background. An underpowered flash results in an underexposed subject and image. The last possibility is that the flash might be set too low. You might have a black bar across your image or a very dark photo. If your shutter speed is too high for the max sync-speed, it affects your image. Most flashes have a maximum sync speed of 1/200 of a second. Or you might have your shutter speed set too fast for the flash. This can happen with your pop-up flash, an on-camera flash or an off-camera flash. Using any flash can make your picture too dark. And sometimes you just get in a hurry or get distracted and flub your settings. Occasionally, we bump a wheel or touch a button that changes our settings as well and we don’t realize it. Incorrect exposure might have been because the lighting changed without you compensating for it with your camera settings. Incorrect exposure, incorrect use of flash or using the wrong metering mode can all cause dark photos. Understanding why your photos are underexposed, or dark, is important for preventing it next time. Our goal is always to get as close to perfect with our images in camera. It’s important to know why are your photos are coming out dark in the first place. If you have a photo you thought was ruined, this tutorial will help you understand how to fix an underexposed photo in Lightroom. But often there are ways to fix it! I’ll be honest, some images may be too underexposed to be able to recover any detail. As a photographer, missing a great shot because of exposure mistakes is just frustrating.
Today, we are going to visit the other side of the spectrum and talk about underexposure, and how to fix an underexposed photo in Lightroom. Perviously, we talked about how to correct an overexposed image in Lightroom, where I showed you the quick and easy methods I use to recover information from overexposure.
