Adaptive Lighting - HP Photosmart R717 User Manual

Adaptive Lighting

This setting balances the relationship between bright and
dark areas in a picture, preserving gentle contrasts but
reducing harsh contrasts. Dark areas in the picture are
lightened, while brighter areas are left alone. When used
with a flash, Adaptive Lighting can brighten areas that a
flash wouldn't reach. Here is an example of how Adaptive
Lighting can enhance an image:

Adaptive Lighting is useful in situations like these:
• Outdoor scenes with a mixture of sun and shade
• Cloudy days when there is a lot of glare from the sky
• Indoor scenes that use flash photography (to soften or
even out the effect of the flash)
• Backlit scenes where the subject is too far away for the
regular flash to reach, or is severely backlit (for example,
in front of a window)
