In today’s episode, we show you how to fix dark shadows in photoshop.
Working with Dark Areas
It can be extremely annoying to deal with dark areas of an image. Using Curves isn’t always the best option because the highlights of the image tend to get blown out as well. We ran into this same problem when trying to use Levels to brighten up dark areas. So with two of our most commonly used techniques rendered useless, we had to find another method that would brighten up the shadows without blowing out the highlights.
Shadows/Highlights
Our best option is the Shadows/Highlights options. This allows us to only effect the shadows or only adjust our highlights. This is an extremely powerful tool because of the precision is gives us when working on an image. There is even a way to bring the color back into our image which really helps tie it all together.

I know nothing about photoshop. Sometimes I just need help adjusting a photo so I can paint it. I never know what I’m doing. I generally find RUclips videos to be to quick and never explain anything. THANK YOU. I’m in a zoom meeting with my class, and trying to figure out how to edit this photo (per my teachers suggestion) so I can paint it for my in class assignment. I’ve watched some videos before this and literally almost gave up. I’m happy I didn’t or I wouldn’t have discovered your channel. Subscribed and happy about it!!! Thank you for a simple quick fix, and I am now get to painting so I won’t fall behind. I paint slow enough as it is.
After all these years, who knew there was a "show more options" for the Highlights and shadow adjustment. This is fantastic!
Thank You!

I'm a big fan. I've learned so much by watching Aaron's tutorials. I would suggest creating a Smart Object (Filter - Convert for Smart Filter) BEFORE adding in your highlights and shadows. That way your not doing destructive editing.
It helps me a lot as a beginner in Photoshop. Thanks for your great sharing.
this was so helpful. I always wondered about the glowing rim around foreground subjects, but now I know it may just be the radius level. Thanks Aaron
Awesome tip! Going to use it right now. Thanks!
Perfect and quick video (not superfluous at all) for helping me locate and better understand the shadow/highlight adjustments. Thanks man!
Raw to the core.
simple yet very effective video tip. thank you very much Aaron.
Thank you. Best Photoshop tutorials on the internet.
adding that trick to my PS habits. Thanks
This is fantastic and exactly what I needed. THANK YOU!
I thought this would be about the shadow behind him, but that's exactly the problem I always stumble on when doing that with curves and levels! So thanks a lot! :)
Brillant demo Aaron. Thanks
I took a screenshot at 0:33 and tested this new method. After that, I tried to lighten the shadows in this image with a curves layer and applied an inverted "apply image" to the layer mask. In my opinion that looks even more realistic than in the video.
My adjustments for the curves layer are Input: 100 Output: 140

I like mixing this feature with some basic masking to remove that outer glow, as well as some low opacity and very soft strokes to certain areas of the photos that need them; such as a highlight that gets washed out or some type of circumstance similar to that. Overall, fantastic video!
Phlearn your always on point with info. I'm so happy I found your page! Thanks a million times!
This video saved my printing life. THANK YOU!!!!
Nice work Aaron
I love all your videos! They're so educational! Thank you!
you dont have to do a duplicate of the layer. you can convert it to a "smart object", this allows you to do this and you will be able to change the shadows whenever you want. this works with all the other filters. its great
Amazing - you made it so simple :)
Thanks again for the quick tip Phlearn, I really appreciate it. x
just applied to this a photo I was working on that needed it and it was major help! thank you!
Although I was aware of the feature, I enjoyed Aaron's smooth approach. The same tool is available in Lightroom as well, though with a limited options. I use it quite a lot - having a 14 bit .NEF RAW file really gives you a lot of details in the shadows, especially when you underexpose the image intentionally to get faster shutter speed, for example.
Thanks again and keep those great videos coming.
why didn't you use 2-3 points on the Curves to only affect the shadow area?
Excellent, thank you! I never knew about Shadows/Highlights! I will definitely be using this in the future!
Very nice and simple way!!!!
There's another way to consider also .....
Use on top of the base-layer a curves adjustment layer ...... don't do anything to it just now .... first, add a mask and on the mask put the output from apply image ...... now inverse the mask and then adjust the curve-layer for the shadows only ......
easy and simple as well ......
Hey Aaron.... I loved this video..... Could ya make one dealing with the opposite effects? Too much white in the picture.
great tutorial! thanks.
hello i have a question? How do you resize a large picture using photoshop and shrink it so you can use it for profile picture on whatsapp.? without losing resolution....take care
That looks like Fashion Santa that was at the Yorkdale Mall in Toronto !!
BTW...a few ways you could do this, but I like that you introduce different parts of Photoshop ...they all may come in handy at some point !!
possibly stoopid question. why create a duplicate layer? what do you do with the 2 images afterwards?
Oh I love it. Solve the problem for so many years to me.
Thanks a lot.
I love your video tutorials and the talent you possess. I use the Shadow/Highlights tool all the time, but I don't believe you showed the Curves tool properly. You can use Curves far more effectively than you showed. You didn't select multiple points and manipulate them as required.
+cooloox he already has another advanced video for Curves.
Minh Khoa Ngô That is good to hear, but why play it down in this video? Curves give precise control over tonal adjustments. The Shadow/Highlights tool is only adjusting tone curves anyway by using sliders.
I was going to say this exact thing, the problem with the dark shadows could have been solved by simply using multiple points with the curves tool. Maybe there are other advantages to using the method Mr. Phlearn Guy showed in this video though that utilizing the curves tool doesn't have.
+1. I looked through the comments to find this. Curves can totally be used for this with more anchor points.
that said, the shadows highlights module is still a good thing to know about.
+Lucas Freeman It offers simplicity. To use Curves correctly takes experience and understanding. The Shadow/Highlights tool is simple and very logical and creates a complex curve very quickly. I often use it instead of Curves. I just believe the video shouldn't have made the Curves tool look clumsy and incapable.
Hi Phlearnies,
one question bothers me for quite a time now: How do I remove that tiny little hair on a (girls) forearm (in a photograph)? I heard about some duplicating the layer method (but I’m sure there’s a more Aronesc way to do it)…
And the other thing is a little tip: every time I start to edit an image, I copy the basic layer and leave it invisible on top of all the other layers, so I can in an instant swap between before and after, without having to click alt/opt and selecting all the relevant layers anew when going back to editing.
But most of all: thanks for all your valuable and entertaining tutorials, they helped me a lot and brightened more than one day ;-)
Cheers
Michael
Hi aaron ! thanks for that good tip ! I will use it on old photos I scanned
Short and sweet, well done !
Hey Aaron I love your video tutorials, thanks.
Wow. Nice tutorial! I have learned alot! Thanks
Hey Aaron, I was wonder if you could do a video about splitting a big body of water like a sea? I have some photo ideas that need this look. Thanks in advance if you can help out.
Who is this man? I need him in my life!!!
+Hert Niks Santa without his "new year style" dress :)
2 Minute Tutorials maybe both^) but certainly I meant the model
2 Minute Tutorials everyone knows Aaron and its not too doffocult to find out his name even if u dont know him, which is impossible because he says his name at the beginning of every episode. Obviously talking about the man.
why don't you just deal with that when the photo is still in RAW form?
+Peida Li If you shoot with your phone or just got it from the internet
you can actually bring out more shadow details this way than in raw. I've tested it out before.
+AlexCoronaPhoto really? how can it be possible? sounds strange
yeah I'd like to know too
+ivancoart Shooting RAW you open it in ACR and slide the shadows slider to the plus side and poof done
I usually do blend if with lvels, and it works fine, but I I completely forgot about this feature!!! thanks for the reminder :D
Thanks Aaron!
Your tutorials are the best in youtube :) Thank you for these :)
Thank for this information
Hi Phlearn....
Can we design a Brochure in Photoshop Or Indesign should be used for that ????
Thanks!!!!!!!!
Reply!!!!!
I would go for the camera raw highlights/shadows controls... is there any difference?
Thanks for reminding me how to use it, plus I love your humor!
your videos are amazing! They mean a lot to me!
Great video! That takes me over the top on a few things which have been annoying me, mainly harsh shadows vs bright highlights.
Super useful!
You just saved my life, Aaron. Thank you!
Gracias Maestro
Isn't it better to use camera raw or Lightroom for this so its non destructive?
I think it's the 100th time you cover that :0
Yet you do it better each time
Besides, without pushing the buttons, just by using the default values after selecting the "shadow/highlight" option, the quality is already very fine to me. So does it really matter to further adjust the buttons beyond the given/default values ?
Hi Aaron
Is this better/worse than using the shadow adjustments in ACR ?
That was very helpful, thank you!
tutorial starts at 2:38
You are always the best Phlearn..
Can you do some episodes on how to change objects from 2d to 3d and apply image textures to it, please? Thank you and happy New Year
great tut... love all the video's you do. love the shirt I got also...
I'm not sure if this is a stupid question, but I always felt more than a little confused with the distinction between the concepts of luminance, luminosity and lightness, and how that applies to photo editing and color grading. I looked it up online, but the information is scattered and you can't find it all together in one place. I got even more confused when I tried to think of that in combination with the different blend modes. Any valuable inputs on that? I really don't know who else to ask.
Was there any particular reason for a redo episode? Amazing Trick to Recover Shadow Detail in Photoshop was released in 15.4.2014 :)
Can you show the basic in Photoshop editing non destruktiv?
that was sooo helpful! Iv been doing it wrong all along!
Thank you!
Good lesson, however, I am curious: Once a Shadows and Highlight adjustment is made, is that same tool still able to be edited after you make an adjustment? I seem to not be able to recall the tool and have it return showing my adjustments and therefore, my adjustments seem destructive to THAT layer. Is there any way to call up and change those edit without staring over?
Hi Aaron, like this muc - as always ;-) Is there any advantage of this method over working with luminance masks?
Just watched PAN with my 7 year old son. some of the scenery in that is awesome. I think that would be a playing field for Photoshop. Mad max is another one that would be awesome. If anyone could do a awesome job in that it would be you sire.
Awesome............Thanks.
Thank you once again good sir! Always appreciated.
How do I adjust Shadows and Highlights in video clips (as a global adjustment)? Thank you and great videos Aaron.
thanks it's a good way
Hey Aaron thx for the tutorial. When editing for fashion do you suggesting correcting tones and color before skin and garments or the other way around? Thx!
when i move a low pixilated image to ahigher one or so i find the result pretty bad. wanna know the best way to blend two images and create shadows for an object
Its the golden hour, the outdoor wedding has just started and just when the bride is walking down the isle the decorations cast shadows right on her dress and even on the faces of the flower girls. is there a way to remove just the shadows casted over the dress even worse, a face? Is there a quick way to fix it?
hi aaron i was watching ur video quite a while and it helped me a lot. im a begginer with no idea at all in editing in photo shop but the videos that uv made helped me a lot.
just having a problem with the one im editing this time coz the back ground is so bright that the image is totally washed out do u have any video tutorial how to fix that kind of situation?
amazing it works
Thank You Aaron and you're Great and i have a question, how can i create pixie dust in photoshop, and what are the conditions of using these techniques like should having dark background
Thanks for the very useful tip. In Lightroom develop module there are the hightlights/shadows and whites/blacks sliders that enhance any image. Youve shown the highlights/shadows adjustment in PS, but is there also a whites/blacks adjustment in PS?
Hey PhlearnyAaron, any info about contests coming up?
Do you know of a way to auto trace hand drawn images inside photoshop?
Any advantages using shadows/highlights over camera raw? filter in photoshop?even on jpeg images?
+Tomas Ramoska Yes, that is what I would like to know too.
I just bring up ACR when I need to tweak shadows and highlights
+Tomas Ramoska I don't think it is better. Just with curves you can edit several points to achieve the results you want. To me it is just about promoting these options. Editing RAW is always better because you just edit functions which are saved in an XMP file or in a database. Anytime you need to show your file the data source is read. Basically it is non destructive. As soon as you get into image editing you start to be in a destructive kind of processing. Pixels are coded in the file and that's.
But well RAW dev has its limits too so to make it short the best way is to do as much as possible in developping the RAW and fixing it in image edition software.
+Tomas Ramoska You are totally right, even Adobe recommends using ACR in their YT channel. They consider 'shadows/highlights' feature in PS itself as 'legacy'.
Could you do a tutorial on how to make a low key portrait (from a normally lit photo)
How do you use the magnetic lasso ?
Could it be a featuring episode ?
Thx.
Happy new year, from the dinos.... :D
Hey Aaron, your videos are very helpful. Is there a way to do this across multiple images at once?
Thanks!
Gracias .
I am new to taking pictures and I am looking for a good editing software? I have a Nikon D5000 and D7200 what editing software would you recommend to use. Thanks
Wish I found out about this sooner!
A suggestion for a new tutorial - removing a *complex* background. We see lots of tutorials where the background is green screen or blue sky or studio white, but never for what could be termed a 'real life' image.
Your tutorials rock, younger students love them and are more than happy to watch them!
Why are you guys not doing illustrator tutorials here in phlearn!! , I think it will be cool :)
Could you do a tutorial on fantasy lightning and fog or mist, please
i'hv been watching you're tutorials on almost regular basis & they're all awesome...
can you please make tutorial on how to make awesome double exposure photos
that would be great... :-) thank you..!
Thanks for your help
Thanks for tutorial .. :)I just want want to ask about the pen you use.. what is model name of it?Thanks again
Hey Aaron - Is there a way to blend several landscape images together - same scene, but from many different times of day, and (importantly) blending the sky together so it isn't a hard transition? So the blend from an afternoon to evening to sunset sky has a smooth transition and not a hard or jarring transition of the different colours? Thanks!
