GIMP Plugin Registry

This script helps fix overblown areas of an image. It's not as good as some other methods that must be done manually, but it's not bad. It will NOT fix clipped colors (maximum overblown areas); it only helps increase the contrast in bright highlights.

The script is located in "<Image> / Script-Fu / Enhance / Fix Overblown"

Feedback welcome!

This plugin does a pretty good job of eliminating shadows and highlights in photographs. It gives you two layers that basically act like adjustment layers, and changing the opacity will alter the effect.
