We have Photoshop Elements 15.  We recently took a trip to Africa and in South Africa I took several pictures of a leopard.  The problem is that this was done after sun set and the game driver (only viewing not hunting animals) had a tracker who had a spot light on the leopard.  I did not want to use the flash for fear it would cause a problem for the leopard.  So the spot light caused the face or the leopard to just be bright so one cannot see the features clearly.  Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this problem?  I would sincerely appreciate help if someone has had this problem and found a solution.

Thank you

    A screen shot would help.

    And it might be better to post in the Elements forum (this is the Photoshop forum) : Photoshop Elements
