When we take a photo, we usually try to capture interesting moments in our lives. Most of the time this happens on an intuitive level, and at such moments we rarely think about what will appear in the picture. If you are not a professional photographer such things as exposure along with most of the settings do not matter much to you, but it can make a big difference to the result. We took a good photo and found out that a shadow is falling on us because we have wrongly exposed the frame. After that, you can try to do a similar shot with the right settings, but we are unlikely to be able to capture that very moment, it will be a completely different shot no matter how hard we try. It is said not in vain that photos steal a part of the soul and fix it at the moment, so you can not recover it. Face expression, mood, the posture, you can continue the list of features that a particular photo may not recover with another shot. Then how do you save a good photo captured with bad settings?

How to get rid of shadow in a picture

Shadows could be of various natures, it could be a foreground or a background shadow. Depending on what shadow we deal with we choose different methods of editing the image. If the shadow lays off the main subject and we do not want to see it anymore, then we need to remove the background shadow from the photo. If the subject occurs in the shadow itself caused by bad exposure settings then it is foreground shadow editing. As we get to know what we are dealing with, it is time to choose the correct photo editor to remove shadows from the image.

How to edit shadows out of photos with Adobe Photoshop

Photoshop is probably one of the most powerful photo editing programs. Here we can find a myriad of tools to bring any photo to the right condition. In the case of working with the background shadow, we may need to use a content-aware filter. This filter allows generating of complex background objects taken from the original data within the photo. This makes it easier to edit materials containing compounded structures overlapping the foreground, such as railings for instance. You can also try to do it manually with the healing brush and patch tool, but usually, these tools are required for additional corrections of image areas where the content-aware filter can not cope. On the other hand, working with the shadows lying on the main subject is not the less difficult. We have to precisely expose the lack of light on the complex surface such as skin and clothing. And if some background details could be neglected in quality, this is not the case when we work with the subject and foreground.

Working with Photoshop requires quite a serious skill in handling the program. You need to understand how all these tools work and interact with each other on an intuitive level. This is more of a job for professional editors or advanced users who prefer to do everything themselves manually. For everyone else, there are countless mobile applications that can do the job. Let us take a closer look at this option.

App to remove shadows

When we open the App Store looking for a photo editor, we immediately encounter a problem - there are way too many options to choose from. This is a great way to clutter up your phone's memory and eventually find an app that does the job through trial and error. However, if it worked for one of your photos and did remove the shadow from the background, it might do a much worse job with the shadow on the main subject, because you need a more comprehensive approach there. And that is where the whole point of such applications comes in, they are based on automated algorithms that are very limited in performance when it comes to their flexibility and application to different photo cases. Here is where the RetouchMe service comes with the solution.

We do everything manually to provide the best quality results for our customers. With the RetouchMe app, you simply get the professional editor’s power and photo assistant in your pocket.

I use to love this app but I'm about to get rid of it. It takes forever to receive the pictures and the wait time changes multiple times, making it even longer to get the pictures.

Definitely worth the price, recently editing times have increased greatly and now I don't see an option to pay more coins to speed up but I understand times are tough and headcount of editors might be low, the editors do a great job at editing and that is what matters most at the end of the day. Thank you for keeping this app running behind the scenes. I will be a lifetime customer. Hope to see the speed up editing option back!

Tremendously fast & for the most-part, high quality edits! I’ve had a few I had to resubmit due to complete misses, so I wish that process was a bit more customer friendly & that I didn’t have to pay again for a replacement edit. But overall, great service!

Totally worth every penny. This app takes all the work out of it and you end up with perfect photos that look exactly how you imagined them in your head and not only that, but they're also extremely realistic as well.

well this is not a free app, there is a 99 cent renewable option for 20 retouches. I bit the bullet, bought, and glad I did. As a plus, the retouch was easy to use and natural looking not overdone
