Peano, what makes you say that you can't do global adjustment?

So you need to make local adjustments -- brightening that applies only to the shadow details, darkening that applies only to the highlights. For this you need to use layer masks.

That would work, but it would be more difficult, because you'd have to paint precisely around the edges of the man's jacket. It's much easier (and more precise) to generate two exposures from ACR and use layer masks inside Photoshop. ---

Because if it were I fixing the picture, I would just do some global highlights recovery (until the red disappears from her skin) and then touch his sleeve corners with a very small adjustment brush and a bit of brightness or exposure (whichever works best). I'm just trying to find out why would you create two new layers for such small adjustments?
