I used AP for iPad when it first came out for this very reason.  Shooting a pic of my black dog was hard.  My hubby got very sick and eventually died and during this time I lost interest in taking photos.  Almost 5 years has passed now and evidently I have forgotten all but the very basics of AP iPad.  Can someone help with how I lighten just the portion of the pic that shows his face.  Used to do it a lot but I have looked for a tutorial that will refresh my memory and cant find one.  Thanks for your patience with me if you can help.  Not a good photo I attached but if I can just learn on this one…

No help from anyone?  Please treat me as a newbie, and of the older generation,  and understand I have researched everywhere and cant find anything. If there is a tutorial, just point me in that direction.  Not looking for anyone to take time for specific instructions but if you know where I can find it, I would so much appreciate it.

Hi Sassy Mae,

sorry to hear about your loss.

I would try the following steps:

  1. add a curves adjustment
  2. set mode to LAB
  3. click into the area of the face to create a node on the curve, than drag upwards to brighten image
  4. invert mask 
  5. choose brush tool
  6. choose a textured brush from the „masking“ brushes 
  7. choose white color
  8. set brush opacity y to 20 percent
  9. now brush over the face of the dog several times where you want to increase brightness. Repeat a few times to gradually build up the effect
  10.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.
