I took a picture of a dark brown signpost. It's one of those new touristy signposts. Behind it is a field. The sky was partially overcast.
The sky was overexposed and the signpost is very dark. I tried gamma correction but the whole picture becomes either too bright or too dark. I tried to reduce the contract, which helps bring out details in the clouds, but the picture has a greyish tint. Changing brightness levels does the same.
Is there any way I can improve the picture? I am using freeware image manipulation software (IrfanView and Serif PhotoPlus 6).
Thanks.
