Adjusting the Exposure of a Rendered Image

After rendering an image, you can adjust exposure settings to improve the image. If you know the desired exposure settings, you can set them before rendering the image. When you select a lighting scheme, the software uses default exposure settings, optimized for the type of light in the view.

If you adjust the exposure settings, the settings are saved as part of the view properties. The next time you render this view, the same exposure settings are used.

To adjust the exposure of a rendered image

1. In the Rendering dialog, under Image, click Adjust Exposure.
2. In the Exposure Control dialog, specify the desired settings.

   See Exposure Control Settings.

3. If you want to return to the default exposure settings, click Reset to Default.

   The default Exposure Value is optimized for the selected lighting scheme. Other exposure settings have neutral settings.

4. Click OK.
