Overexposed photos - skin way too white/bright
Hi everyone:

I have some shots I took recently that are WAY too overexposed. The skin tones are basically bright white.

I have Photoshop Elements, and have tried the method of creating a new layer and adjusting it to soft light, etc. It doesn't seem to help at all.

I'd appreciate any insight or advice on how to get the skin tones warmer.

Thank you!

Buck52 - rather than post an image publicly, may I PM you to give you my email and I'll send it that way for you to see?

Thanks.

If your version of PSE has the Shadow/Highlight tool ..
Try it, And turn down the Highlights.
I think this tool is in PSE 5.0 or newer.
