You needn't be to sorry. It is a common enough error. This playground encourages enthusiasms that tend to overlook the inherent bureaucracy. The overwhelming penalty is just to have the topic moved into another category by Admin.


LOL, Thanks! I'm enjoying the learning experience, who said you can't teach an old dog?


Anyways,did you play with the "fill light"?


No, and to be honest, not sure what the fill light is... i am new to all of this and am lost on PSE8.

Fill light is usually dealt with when taking a picture. In your case, that was not option.
In photo element that can be 'improved (ah!) by modifying the mid-tones using levels, and tone curves.
My "ah!" is because this is far from offering something workable as it will create artifacts and likely denature the photo itself.
The two appears to be similar as both allow editing on the full RGB or per channel. I usually use both options in concert.
The middle arrow is the mid tone also called 'fill light' by any other name.
Open a picture and play with both options do see the various effects using arrows or the corresponding eye-drop to select your picture's mid tone.
Please note that this influences the whole picture UNLESS you create a mask to control the overall modification.

If you shot them in RAW, the foreground could be helped considerably. JPEG is only 8 bit, and RAW is at least 12 bit. Lots more data to work with.

Don't worry about the self appointed site cop, complains often, like its his dime.
