Does anyone know how to edit areas of brightness or overexposure?
So far, I have tried adjusting brightness/contrast, levels, curves, and exposure. None have given me a satisfactory result. Copying and pasting (from other parts of the photo) to cover the bright spot did not work, either. I even tried selecting the area and darkening it. I did manage to get some improvement with the patch tool, but the area is still too bright. What else can I do? Suggestions? |

In a darkroom, you could burn in that section of the photo by blocking the rest of the image, smoothing the edge zone by continually moving a disk or a disk with a hole in it. Is there not something similar in photoshop/GIMP?
Better to take another photo with proper exposure, but that may not be an option.

Thank you for the clue, H3rmit.
I used the Burn tool in Photoshop and it worked! This was the first time, I have used it. I just learned something new. Thank you.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
