Retouching
The “clone” or “stamp” tool allows you to copy one part of a picture over another
High Dynamic Range
Photomatix software creates a high range image from multiple exposures
Use exposure bracketing on your camera.
HDR Fusion
The camera will either lose detail on the interior, or wash out the window. HDR software can create a composite image
HDR Exposure Correction
Photomatix can automatically apply different corrections to different parts of the picture
Special Effects
