No, that's something you'd do afterwards; isolate the guy in the BG (if it's advanced editing) and apply selective color to the selection; you'd choose the white channel, and brighten it up and remove any color cast as well. Selective color is extremely useful for this sort of thing. Another area it works really well for is applying a hint of color to blown-out areas of skies in sunsets/sunrises.

Now you are talking... you applied Shadow/Highlight exactly the way it is intended. Nice job!
But you and I still need to have a little talk about doing everything on the original layer. Maybe we could do that downtown by the dock near the ferry landing on a nice day sometime. :) LOL! |
Lol, thanks for the complement, and I'm willing to be taught, believe me! (Which ferry dock, the Coho or the Fastcat? :) ) |

Don't worry, I figured it out this time :) But for future reference, I AM blonde, so need lots of explaining ;) |
