  Folks, A member a long time, but haven’t visited in a while. Time and stuff over the last year or so meant I’ve had to lay the camera down, but took it up recently to photograph the new RNLI Lifeboat arriving in Skerries. I thought I had it all set up for a great shot but made a bags of it. Way to low. Light was bang on for the day and the shot should have been crisp, clear with beautiful sharp colours. I was SO disappointed as I only had one chance to catch it. I prob should have gone for fully automatic.

  Can anyone tell me how I can rescue this? I have Photoshop Elements 6. Would really appreciate the help as this is a very sentimental shot for me

  Try rescuing it using Levels, that should help a bit. Best of Luck!

  I applied Levels, Shadows &Highlights and boosted Saturation in CS5 for the attached result.

  Thank you both for the responses. Both are really helpful and I’ll be heading home this evening to try. Thank you again.
