Using a flash to fill in deep shadows can add dimension to your images. If you have a particularly contrasty image, you can use a flash to lighten the shadows and return the image to what you thought you saw with your eyes when you shot the image. Besides discussing fill flash for both point-and-shoot cameras and SLR cameras, I also discuss a Photoshop method of "fill" for images where you didn't use a flash to fillÃïïsaving older images.

Open History Palette. Click on 'Open' state in History palette. Click left (first column) of Levels state in History palette (History brush appears in column).
