Hi all,
I shot a great image last week using slide film (Provia 100) but in my haste I didn't check the meter and the image is underexposed by at least 1 stop, maybe more.
Now that I have scanned the image, the shadows are dense and detail is not really distinguishable. If I try to manipulate in CS3 to obtain some shadow detail, the highlights blow completely.
Any ideas on how underexposed images can be salvaged in CS3 or any advice from those who have had similar problems?
Thanks.

Can you post the image as it came from your scanner?
If it's underexposed, you should be able to see highlight detail, although your shadows may be stuck down in the mud. Unless it's a very contrasty scene that is.
