Lightening Dark Shadows

[Sepiana]

Hi everyone,

Are dark shadows ruining your photos? In this tutorial I'll show you a simple and effective trick to say goodbye to dark shadows forever using Photoshop Elements! You can easily lighten shadows with this simple technique.

Say GOODBYE to DARK SHADOWS Forever!

NOTE:

Select Subject was introduced in PSE 2020; this new feature is powered by Adobe Sensei. You just click once and Elements automatically selects the main subject in your image. If Elements is not intelligent enough, you can edit your selection -- Add to selection or Subtract from selection. 

Refine Edge (updated version, brought over from Photoshop) was introduced in PSE 11.

Thank you Sepiana. George is amazing.
It's a bit complicated but useful. I lighten shadows a lot and sometimes the areas do get a bit washed out.   
Thanks, 
Clive
