How to even out exposure from flash If you have a picture which was taken with a flash, and the foreground objects/people are much lighter than the background objects, how can you make the lighting appear even? I have PS7 and have tried using curves but I can't seem to get it just right because it lightens the parts that are already too light as well as the dark areas.

you need to use the lasso with some feathering to select only areas you want to lighten.

Thank you for your suggestion, Gregory. I tried it and it works great on photos where someone is standing right in front of the camera, and everything in the background is a good distance away. I also stumbled across another method that can be used when there is a more gradual transition from bright foreground to dark background. I used quickmask and the gradient tool to create a very gradual selection from the properly-exposed area to the too-dark area. This also worked quite well. Thanks again for your response.
