Fixing a Shadowed Image
If an image is completely thrown into the shadows,
you can turn to blending modes to shed a little
light. In fact, this technique is often used by law
enforcement to enhance security photos or footage.
1. Open the file Ch09_Shadow1.tif from the
Chapter 9 folder.
2. Duplicate the Background layer by pressing
Command+J (Ctrl+J).
3. Set the top layer to Screen mode. You can
choose it from the menu in the Layers panel
or press Shift+Option+S (Shift+Alt+S). The
image should appear significantly lighter.
4. You c a n f u r t he r l i g ht e n t he i m a g e by pl a c -
ing another duplicate copy on top. Press
Command+J (Ctrl+J) as many times as
needed. Each will lighten the image further.

were applied to another. If you add the Free Transform command,
you can make that stamp match the perspective of the photo. Let's
