Here’s an example of how I use Smart Lighting (spot mode) on a high contrast image :

All I have done here is :

  1. apply Smart Lighting (I’ve highlighted the rectangles)
  2. apply ClearView Plus
  3. lift the tone curve at the shadow end

It took me all of 15 secs

Don’t try to compare results achieved with another tool’s “magic” settings with what DxO can achieve with its own.

The difference is that, with DxO, I know what has been done to my image and can modify any of the settings if the “magic” isn’t quite what I was after.
