I am PP a photo that was taken with the person too close to a wall. They have that nasty dark shadow along one side of their face. There is still detail through the shadow, but I would like to eliminate or dramtically lighten it.

I have used the spot healing tool in the past to aid in this, however I am thinking there has to be a better way. I am using CS2.

Thanks,

Still learning myself but how about a layer mask and use the shadow/highlight tool for that particular section.
