My pleasure.

If you set the slider to the spot where the OvEXP warnings begin to disappear, your whites will be at 255. It is difficult to impossible to restore the detail. For years, I reduced the white slider value by half. More recently, I began reducing it by 2/3 so that I would have less work to do restoring detail to the whites. Note that in the video, I neglected to move the Highlight Slider to the left (as I should have).

with love, artie

Thank you for this video. Why did you reduce the slider value by 2/3 when setting the “white point”?
