**NOTE**
I did this tutorial in Photoshop CS3 Extended which is why some of you may have problems. However, that does't mean this tutorial won't work in other versions of Photoshop. Just try it out.
Have a photo that is as dark as God knows what? Well now you can fix it. With my help of course! :D I will be using my baby (my dog) as the subject this time. Here's the before:
Here's the after:
To fixing!
001.First, open up your photo.
002.Now go Image>Adjustments>Shadow/Highlight.
003.When the little pop-up appears, check off the box that says "Show More Options".
004.Play around with the settings to get your photo the way you like it. Although if you have no idea what you're doing or you're feeling too lazy, just use my settings :):
Shadows
Amount: 100%
Tonal Width: 87%
Radius: 20px
Highlights
Amount: 14%
Tonal Width: 49%
Radius: 30px
Adjustments
Color Correction: +24
Midtone Contrast: -9
005.Press Ok & there you have it! :D
If you got lost or have any questions, comment the tutorial & I'll get back to you as soon as I can. :D
