Lighting problems are common in photography. Photos taken in bright light often lack detail in the shadow areas. If your photo’s background is too dark, or if the difference between the photo’s light and dark areas is too great, you can lighten the darker, underexposed areas. You can adjust saturation, which is the purity or vividness of a color.
