Hi,
First post, and no question is a dumb one. Can anyone direct me as to how to correct a photo that was taken by one of those throw away cameras where the faces are almost whited out and everthing else is very murky?
I develop on the KodakCD fyi
Somewhat familiar with PS6 but go easy on me..

Hi Mateo, welcome to the board [righton]
Can you post an example, so that we can show you step by step how to correct a shot like that.
My attachment shows how to add an image to your post.

Welcome mateo! 
Yep, an example would help us to see exactly where the areas of difficulty lay in an over exposed image.  And, 'rest assured' that you'll receive some good advice/tips on how to correct the deficiencies of such an image. | |

Hi guys
Thanks for entertaining the idea. attached you can see extreme darks in the shadow and anything that wasnt directly flashed. On the other hand, the face is very bright, devoid of any rich color etc..
forgive me Annie

The best tool to use for this is the curves tool (image/adjustments/curves). With this tool you can directly target the dark and/or light areas.
If you have a hard time with the curves tool; this is probably the best one of the best tutorials: http://www.gurusnetwork.com/tutorial...p/curves1.html
The curves tool is considered to be one of the most significant tools in Photoshop. You won't regret it if you know more about it | |

In this example I added a curved adjustment layer in combination with its mask.
I only applied the curves correction to the face.
Keep that in mind that areas that are extremely bright or dark don't have enough tonal information to expect wonders.

Great direction and results there with the "curves" adjustment, Gauss! | |

The same thing as Gauss, except I added HSB on top of the Curves to bring out the colours a bit more (she looks a bit flushed, eh?). Ended up with a little extra green, but I painted most of the ugly green out real quick.
Curves rock!
