I have a number of family photos where the subject’s face was hidden in shadow. Can anyone explain to a beginner the fill-flash quick fix? Is there a better way to fix this? In particular, I note that fill flash tends to give the photo a washed-out look while simultaneously making some colors stand out as unnaturally vibrant and giving flesh tones a redish hue. I’ve found I sometimes have to decrease the saturation on the whole picture to compensate. I’ve tried selecting just the portion in shadow and lightening that, but that always ends up looking like a clumsy, obvious alteration. What are the hard light, soft light, etc. adjustment layers — are those a superior option to fill flash?
