as you know in the LR Develop Module, there is a fill light option. Is that gone in LR 4 and if you also use Aperture, is there something similar in Aperture? thank you joanlvh
It is not gone. It is available for Process Version 2003 and 2010 images. You can revert converted and new import images to the older process versions in the Camera Calibration Panel or the Settings>Process Menu. When you do the old Develop Basic Panel controls will appear. You should give the new tools a chance. They are far superior to the old Fill Light option at pulling in shadow detail.
Well, the Fill control of LR3 is not in LR4 in the same form, but the new controls can achive a similar effect - often better and without the artefacts.
However, #1 or maybe #2 normally does the trick.
If you want an in-depth analysis of the new controls, see Rob's Cole's very detailed experiences at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/968940?tstart=0 and http://forums.adobe.com/thread/973706?tstart=0.
