The Highlight Recovery tool provides controls to recover data in the overexposed areas of your image without changing the overall exposure or color balance of the photograph. For more information about highlight recovery, see the Understanding Advanced Image Editing Tools topic.

To set the highlight recovery options:

1. | From the Tools menu, click Advanced.

2. | In the drop-down menu, click Highlight Recovery.

3. | To turn on the highlight recovery feature, click the HR check box.

4. | Click on the HR slider and move it to the right until you see the detail retun to the overexposed area.

To adjust Bibble's highlight recovery algorithm for greater effectiveness with your specific camera files:

1. | Click the Threshold slider and move it to the right to increase the amount of magenta highlights removed with the highlight recovery tool.

2. | Move the slider to the left to decrease the amount of magenta highlights removed with the highlight recovery tool.

3. | To reset the threshold algorithm, click Threshold 0.

To recover data in areas where two color channels are overexposed:

• | Click the Monochromatic Recovery check box.

Note: When two color channels are overexposed, the Monochromatic Recovery option changes the overexposed areas to monochrome, rather than trying to determine the missing color. This option removes unwanted colorcasts from the overexposed areas.
