Hi,
I have a picture of my daughter that I took with my new D500 and realize now I should have used a flash. Around her eyes are dark and her forehead is probably too light. I played around with it in photoshop and lightroom, but I really don't know how to do much beyond the basics.
I thought it was good enough, and had a canvas printed, but it turned out too dark. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any tuning or tweaks that can be done to lighten up the areas around her eyes and face in general?
I also didn't do enough to create space on the left side of the image, to support a 16x20 canvas.
I'd really appreciate any tips or suggestions you might have for improving this picture, so I can try again to create a canvas.
