Quick Tip - subject too dark
Here’s a DaddyKitty Quick Tip:
Ever have a photo like this?
It’s easy to fix using either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements (all versions). Go to Image - Adjustments - Shadow/Highlights. You get this menu:
Notice that the more you move the shadow amount slider to the right, the lighter the shadows will get. The more you move the highlight amount slider to the right, the darker the highlights get. You can also adjust slightly the color correction and midtone contrast sliders although these usually look good where they are.
And here’s what you get!
We’ll be having lots more Quick Tips in future posts - stay tuned.

Great tip, Daddykitty! I see these photos all the time, and they can be frustrating to fix!

Thanks for sharing this. I usually end up trying to over correct. I need to remember just a little at a time.
