Lesson 9 - Fixing under- or over-exposed photographs using the Exposure dialog box.

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to demonstrate how to correct an under- or over- exposed photograph by using the dedicated 'exposure control dialog box'. Adjusting the exposure slider within this dialog box opens up some of the midtones, adjusting the offset slider increases the shadow areas and adjusting the gamma correction affects the midtones and some highlights.
