Disclaimer: There are many ways to do EVERYTHING in photoshop and I am going to show you the easiest way to do them.
how do you adjust the background color and not screw up the colors in the main subject...aka documenting art pieces. i always have too dark of photos so when i adjust the exposure in photoshop i lose all the detail and wash out the drawings. help!
Hey Jess, very good question. This is an issue many people have. Using a mask will solve your problem. Here is the step by step.
1. Open your image and make a copy layer of your background.
2. Now adjust the exposure to whatever you want your background to look like, it won't matter what your subject looks like.
3. Then create a mask. Look at Kim's question if you are not sure how to do that.
4. Just like in Kim's Q you grab a soft brush and paint back the background layer using black at 100% opacity.
You should be set to go! Please let me know if you have anymore questions! Love you Jess!!!

oh my gosh I LOVE the brushes!! now how do I load them into photoshop?? =)
i think my situation must be solved in a different way. because they are graphite drawings, the white of the paper is visible in the subject. Is there any ways to just strip the yellow out of the image? I am horrible at photo shop! I can send you some images if that would help visualize the issue....
