Alternatively, folks, you could also use Filter > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight and mess with the settings. Usually you get a pretty good effect automatically.

Good tip, thank you. [Although it's Image > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight] — unless that’s been changed since CS2.

I still prefer the simplicity of Levels, but another method [if you prefer the "automatic"] is IMAGE > ADJUSTMENTS > AUTO LEVELS. (You can also do CTRL+SHIFT+L)

Anyway, thanks for the reminder Chris!

Thanks for the vide, but I have a problem and I couldn’t find the way to work it out. I have an old image and there’s a blured shadow in the corner, which covers an important part. By clicking on auto contrast, then on auto levels and by using the marquee tool I did a nice job, But I have no idea what to use to clear up this shadow so that it has the same bright as the one in the image. Does anybody know???
