OK. So this pic was shot in RAW format. Obviously there was better light on the right than the left. Is there anyway to even it out some? I tried dodging on the left, but it looked too washed out. And it didn't really match the right side. Sooooo.... can it be done?

possibly burn the right side, or create a neutral density filter to darken the right while doing little/nothign to the left and make it have an even transition.

Curves adjustment?

- duplicate the layer
- add a layer mask
- in Channels pallet select only the layer mask just added
- select the gradient tool
- drag from left to right, or right to left, either one.
- if the gradient isn't white on the left and black on the right, ctrl-I to invert it.
- select RGB again (and deselect layer mask)
- in Layers pallet, select duplicate layer
- change blending mode to screen
- adjust opacity to taste.
