[Lighten a dark face in an already bright picture]

Hi Callum,  

Thanx for taking the time to help a newbie. 

I am playing around and watching and re watching the videos.  It is slowly sinking in

Thanx again Cmajor7

[Lighten a dark face in an already bright picture]

I should tell you that this is my first post here. I am very new to Affinity and to post photo world concepts so please forgive my ignorance. 

 

I have watched some of the beginning videos and spent most of my time rewinding. Too fast and in the icons in the program in the videos the are too small for a beginner. I never did find out how to do what I want to do.

 

I just want to lighten some dark (shadowed) faces in some already borderline oversaturated photos due to hats worn to shadow the bright sun on our last vacation. 

 

The pictures are in my Photos Library.   Although I haven't move up I understand El Capitan will allow 3rd party editing programs.  Hope that will include Affinity as I want to learn it.

 

Thanx for any and all help. :)
