How do I eliminate bad lighting on a picture?
Jen O asked:
I have Coral Paint Shop Pro X2, and cannot figure out how to fix bright lighting in a picture. IE- I have a picture of someone that turned out pretty good, but the light is so bright around them, you can’t see the other objects. How can I keep the person the same while restoring the rest of the back round?

Use the selection tool to select around the subject. Then inverse the selection (ctrl+shift+i) now when editing the image it will only affect the area outside of the selection. [who] jamienextlevel
The above poster’s advice is good, to an extent. If there’s not enough information there (i.e. if it’s bright white or close to it) you may not be able to pull those objects back in. Next time in such a scenario it may be better to use fill flash or a reflector so the objects around the person will show up better. [who] Shea-Shea
Many pictures can be saved by adjusting the Saturation (the white balance), Brightness (decrease) and Contrast (increase). Adjusting the actual colors only if there is a color shift. Try experimenting with copy of the picture you want to edit. [who] stew575
