Highlights, sky, etc are red in CameraRaw

12 years 7 months ago #130649 by MeganPearson
This may be a silly question, but why when I open a NEF image in CameraRaw is the sky, or sometimes the outline around my subject bright red? This only recently started happening. I am thinking I may have inadvertantly changed some settings somewhere, either in my camera or in ps.

Thanks! :)

Click the arrow at the top right of the histogram. If there is a box around the arrow it's using the red to show you where you have total white (the areas of the image that are at the extreme right end of the histogram). Clicking the arrow at the top left will show you total black in blue.

Also, just drag recovery slider to right. You are seeing clipped highlights........B)
