CHAPTER 4 DEVELOP MODULE IMAGE EDITING322
A localized Shadows adjustment
The Adjustments panel also contains Highlights and Shadows sliders. As you
might expect, these allow you to lighten or darken the Highlights and Shadows
areas, respectively.
In the example shown here, the photograph was shot against a black velvet
curtain, but there was still some detail left showing in the backdrop. By applying
a negative Shadows adjustment I was able to darken the background, but without
this darkening adjustment affecting the subjects. Of course, one could already use
a combination of negative Exposure and negative Brightness to darken a back-
drop, but by using the negative Shadows method you don’t have to be quite so
accurate when painting with the brush. In this example, some of the brush strokes
overlapped the people in this portrait, but the Shadows adjustment only affected
the background, which was exactly the effect I wanted to achieve here.
1. In this photograph I optimized the image as usual, setting the blacks so they
just started to clip the shadow areas. However, in doing so I couldn’t get the
backdrop to go completely black.
