I have a shot of two people sitting at a table. I’d like to make the background dark without changing the brightness of their faces.
In PhotoShop Elements 3.0 I use the Selection Brush Tool to out line the area behind their heads. When the area is completely encircled, and the ends connect, the dotted lines start to shimmer, showing me the selection is complete.
But when I go into Enhance / Adjust Lighting I get an error message saying "Could not complete the lebels command because no pixels were selected".
How do I select an area of the frame so that I can lighten or darken or change the color of just that section?
