Understanding Boost Highlights
Increase brightness in the highlight areas for punchier whites and more visual impact. This adjustment modifies: Highlights +40 + whites boost.
How highlight adjustments work: Highlight adjustments control the brightest areas of your image. Recovering highlights pulls back overexposed areas — essential for landscape photography with bright skies, product photography with reflective surfaces, and any outdoor shot in harsh sunlight. Boosting highlights adds brightness and pop to already-light areas, creating an airy, high-key feel favored in lifestyle and food photography.
Source format matters: For best results, shoot in RAW format when possible — RAW files retain far more highlight data for recovery than compressed JPEGs. After adjusting highlights, use the AI Enhancer to refine overall tonal balance.
