Attempts to recover from a backlit

[if.vhhh]

got a backlit before gta 6

original photo (raw form)

this is my first try at attempting to recover from this (by ediiting ofc)

the masking is obviously screwed up but i had to do it otherwise the sky looks like this
or maybe im just a beginner with skill issues

1 more thing i havent denoised it yet

---

perhaps anyone can provide some help? It looks really bad and even i describe it as grotesque, absolutely poopy quality..
or is it just the photo is crapped and just cant be recoved

---

Thanks, and adios!

You can try to reduce your ISO to reduce the amount of grain in your shots. It will make it easier to denoise in your edit.

unfortunately backlit is non recoverable in most cases, you can hide it but it’ll never look like you fully got rid of it

Once backlit, never un-backlit. @Butter575 can confirm this.
