Just recently I've been playing a bit on Photoshop with badly exposed photos where the foreground is darker than background. It's really quite handy! I found this great tutorial on Pioneer Woman Photography that tells you how to do it - what do you think? The trickiest part is painting in the lighter area along the edges but I've discovered if you choose a very soft brush it works pretty well.

I only have CS2! So even the older versions work well and you can use the

it for photos (I use it for all sorts of other things - like the CFM button
above- then you could get Elements which I think is much cheaper.
