My images are dark in general, I can't really get enough light in a room for example.
But my surfaces are ok, the are facing the right way ( if is that what you ware talking about) . Although I saw your last image and the background image has very nice quality, it's clean and very bright.
I usually pitch up the iso and I'm loosing all that saturation and clarity .
What did you use for exterior image and what is your configurations?
Thanks

hi manos!! i know what you are talking about, try using in the current kernel path traicing or pmc then change in camera response to afga color vista 200cd or 400 cd this option gives you a little bit more birghtness without changing any parameters on the iso and exposure section, then power up the sun or the direct lighting like 1.5 this will keep the reflections on windows and i think a good brightness on the image, about my last image the exterior is photoshoped its a picture then i use exposure to get the same balance because i used a texture white for lighting as you can see im not having my reflections on my windows. tell me if that helps you, if is not we will begin to try another method. im still like you trying to get a nice lighting without affecting my windows.
