you know, sometimes, when you take pictures & the flash pretty much covers your face?? click here to see an example.

does anyone know how i can fix that? i keep looking for tutorials, but i'm just finding how to adjust contrast to turn a dark picture brighter, but none vise versa

help? anyone? please?

The easiest way to fix an overexposed photo is to choose Image > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight, and play around with the slider to fix it to your needs.

I haven't tried to fix your image myself to tell you exactly what to do, but try playing around with Image > Adjustments > Levels, and work from there. It's all a matter of getting a result you want.

Try going to Image > Adjustments -> Curves

And play around the curves. The lower it is, the darker it becomes, the higher it is, the brighter/lighter it will be.
