How to remove highlights from photos in PS

If you want to remove the highlights of the photo, you can refer to the following method:

1. Use the "Curves" tool: move the mouse over the image, then right-click the mouse and select " Curves" tool. This will create a new curve that allows for better control of highlights and shadows. Drag the mouse along the curve to smooth highlights, and move the mouse under the curve to remove highlights.

2. Use the "Histogram Equalization" tool: Move the mouse over the image, then right-click the mouse and select the "Histogram Equalization" tool. This will balance the light throughout the image, including highlights and shadows. A "black intensity" bar can be observed below the histogram, reducing the brightness of the highlights.

3. Use the "Contrast" tool: Move the mouse over the image, then right-click and select the "Contrast" tool. In the Contrast setting, you can reduce the brightness of highlights, making the image darker and better preserving detail.

4. Use the "Selection" and "Filter" tools: You can use the "Selection" and "Filter" tools in combination to remove highlights. In the Selection tool, you can use the Shadow Selection or Blurred Selection tools to remove highlights. In Filters, you can use the Blur and Gaussian Blur tools to remove highlights.

Please note that these methods may not work in all situations and will need to be adjusted based on the specific situation. In addition, using these tools also requires certain learning and practice. It is recommended to refer to relevant tutorials or seek help from professional photographers.
