I am New to PSE

[kirkschultz]

Can any one help me with this picture as you can see there is a bright reflection on the faces and shawdows on the front. I cannot figure out how to correct it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hum obviously I am new I am trying to upload it but it says the file is to larger is there a way to compress it????

Uses the save for web under file and set the longest side to 700 pixels -- that will bring the file down to an uploadable size.

Go to www.pixentral.com and upload the picture there. I just copy the URL from the browser address bar and paste it into my post.

We'll be able to see your picture and then you'll get some advice.

Thanks for your help but I must really be dumb how do I save it that way I am in Windows Folder and under File there is no option for that. any Idea?

[willpresley]

The save for web is a PSE option. Load your picture in the Editor. Then under FILE you will find the save for web option.

We sometimes assume that you are in PSE so that is why I didn't go into that much detail.

You might give Shadows/Highlights a try -- they both have sliders that affect that part of the picture. The 50% default may lighten the shadows too much but it can be adjusted.

There are other techniques but I'll leave those to more experienced forum members.

Yes the pixentral link worked.

Here is the result using Shadow Hightlight -- both at 50%
