Editor’s Key Takeaways: Selective Brightening Techniques in Photoshop

In this article, you’ll learn how to brighten parts of your image using Photoshop, allowing you to selectively boost brightness where needed.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• Increasing brightness of a person’s face
• Enhancing brightness of the sky
• Brightening edges of the frame
• Targeted brightness adjustment in any photo area

There are two main tools to consider:

• Selection Tool: Select a portion of the image and apply brightness adjustments.
• Brush Tool: Brush brightness onto the photo for subtle, realistic effects.

Brightening using selections involves:

• Identifying the area to be brightened
• Applying a brightness adjustment to the selected area
• Choosing tools based on the shape (e.g., Rectangular Marquee for rectangular objects)

For more detailed, nuanced adjustments, consider using the brush-based method.

Working with a mouse or tablet is recommended for precision in this approach.
