Sony DSC-F717

This is my first try at threads. I used my sony 717 and took some portrait
pictures outdoors in the shade. Bad part is that I had my camera settings
incorrect.(just learning). My setting was with the camera symbol and the P
next to it. This enabled me to move the focus point where I needed to go.
I forgot that there was other setting involve in the menu selection.
So, needless to say all the pictures were darkened and are un-usable.
Is there a way I can correct this with my camera or with software. I tried
a little bit with photoshop 7.0 but I am also learning that as I go.

How about emailing me a lo-res version of a typical example. It's hard to give advice without seeing the image. If you need real portraiture-quality you may not get there, but if you need recognizable poeple/places it may be workable.

Hi! I had the same problem with a graduation I shot a while back. I was VERY panicked! I was able to do some editing though by selecting specific areas of the photo and changing the lighting. If you want to email me a picture, I can fix it for you and send you instructions on how I did it. It's very time-consuming, but worth it, as you obviously can't "re-shoot" a wedding. My email address is herringpictures@aol.com
