4.1 Exposure Compensation
In some situations, such as a great difference between the subject
and background brightness or overall subject tones that will not meter
correctly because they are all black or white, the resulting photograph
may be under- or overexposed. When this occurs, use the exposure
compensation function. Exposure compensation can also be used
when you want to intentionally create overexposed or underexposed
pictures. Please keep in mind; you can do quite a lot of work using the
High Dynamic Range Tool in Capture One 4.
