WELCOME TO DIGITAL SHO
The Digital SHO plug-in is software that automatically adjusts the shadows and dark areas in
digital image files so that more detail is visible and the overall brightness is visually pleasing.
The result is to reveal details in shadows and dark areas.
In photography, typically details in some portions of an image are diminished to provide
adequate contrast and exposure in other areas of an image. Examples are pictures where the
subject looks dark in front of a bright background, where important areas of a picture are in
shadow, or where the flash illuminates people closer to the camera but people farther away are
too dark. Digital SHO automatically detects scene contrast imbalance and presents the user a
corrected image.
