If you need to remove a distracting highlight, make a sunny scene flat and overcast, or grade a shot day-for-night, here is a very useful grading gizmo.
Simply grading the image down doesn’t change the proportion of highlights versus shadows all that much, it just makes everything darker overall. It still kind of looks like a lit scene, just weirdly darkened down. This is a pretty common issue when grading images day-for-night.
lets kill the highlights, flatten the image, and grade it down to use it for a night time scene, with no pinging highlights or harsh directionality to the light, in one single slider with some more options.
