possible to have an ISO 200 foreground and ISO 800 background etc?
You're starting to venture into HDR-ish rendition -- and a few systems offer a "high" and "low" exposure image-pair that you then stitch back together -- and it sometimes works, and then other times it looks seamy.
Typically, we're back to trying to qualify the bright and dark areas with a key discrimination -- success in that is determined by how noisy and compressed the source image is. Think about this. Today's colorists are being asked on a clip-by-clip basis to pull keys on images that were
never intended to be, and at a quality level consistent with a well-planned greenscreen.
And when that doesn't work, the edges glitter, we're asked to track and roto whatever is being waved around... basically on the spot, realtime. Tick, tock. What's the holdup? I thought this was the world's best... whatever... the guys up the street told me... something...
