its shadows and highlight details.

Cherry Blossom in Full Bloom
There are over 600 varieties of Cherry Trees. The shape of the flower petals, colors and blooming period varies. Originated in Japan, most cherry trees blossom in Spring and it's this time of year that the Japanese would picnic under a Cherry Blossom Tree to enjoy the transient beauty of the flower and Spring.

How to Restore Underexposed Portraits
When it comes to street photography, speed
is of essence. Things happen fast around you and you are not in control.
Sometimes, we just quickly snap the pictures only to find out that the subject
is not exposed correctly. So, it’s always best to shoot in RAW, because even if
the photo is underexposed, you can always restore the image in PhotoDirector.
In this tutorial, we will take this image of a lady waking in front of me taken at a temple in Nepal. The face turned out to be underexposed.

In PhotoDirector there are 5 sliders to
adjust exposure: Exposure for global adjustment and Black, Blackest, Midtone,
Bright and Brightest will only adjust partially.
To fix underexposure, we can start by
adjusting Black and Blackest sliders until the image restores its colors.
Next step is to give the image more punch by adjusting the white balance to
give it more warmth and increase clarity.
The final step is to adjust sharpness and
removing noise.

Action Sports in Snow
Today we picked an action sports video from a PowerDirector user. This snow boarding video was taken from a sports camera. Most sports videos require some editing to make it entertaining and we'd like to show one that was done very well. Kudos to
