Here’s how Photoshop Element’s 7 Smart Brush brightens up dark parts of an image. It’s probably nothing most of us don’t know how to do already, but it’s good to have a refresher!
Brighten an Image in Photoshop Elements
- Select the area of a picture that you want to brighten
- Add a Brightness/Contrast Adjustment Layer by clicking on the half-black half-white circle near the top of the Layers Palette
- Double click on the Adjustment Layer Thumbnail (the first box on your new layer) to open the Brightness/Contrast Dialogue box. Increase the Brightness to +30.
- Hit Ok, and adjust the layer’s opacity as needed.
