I was out with my wife taking pictures. My SB600 ran out of batteries, it was night, and I just wanted to take a shot in front of the wooden gate. I had to use the onboard flash to get the shot. It obviously created a hard shadow. I worked on the picture, trying to get a nice black and white image, but it just makes her hair look BIG IMO. Any advice here? Other than re-shooting (It's 1.5 hours out there, and 1.5 hours just putting her in the yukata.)

Get really familiar with the clone tool. FWIW, it's not that bad.

You know, I just went back to CS2 and for some reason, up until now, I thought that the Spot Healing brush was the Clone tool...I will give it a try. Thanks! |

| Next time, bump up the ISO and just use the onboard flash for fill lighting, not as the main lightsource and also move her away from the wall. To fix that particular image, all you can pretty much do is either use something like shadow/highlights or dodge to lighten that shadow but the result would probably not be pleasant so just go nut´s with the clone stamp tool. |

| You can use soft light layers to rescue shots where the light and shadow aren't quite where you want them to be. The tutorial is here. |
