I am using EMC 8 and in PhotoSuite I'm trying to improve some photos. For Ex, a grandson's face go too much flash and the other people are fine. I tried to Mask it by color and that seems to work ok too. But, when I go to edit the face by using the Brightness/Contrast and/or Exposure the whole picture is changed. I've also used the invert selection button but the whole pix still changes. I'm pulling my hair out.

Another question is How do I get out of the masking feature when I'm done editing the masked part? The masked part stays "high lighted" and the only way I've found is to save the photo and close it.

Have you tried cutting out the face, darkening it and then adding it back to the first one? That is probably too tricky but it may be the only way. If you have a lot of these, you might want to investigate a professional photo editing program or seeing what your local photo shop can do. Sorry not much help here.
