photoshop training
There are several resources out there for learning photoshop. Some of which, are just as confusing as the dang program itself! Well, one of the BEST training sites I have found is www.kelbytraining.com. Scott Kelby is an amazing author and I love all of his stuff! It is all very hands on and very very easy to follow. Check it out!
need to darken your background
Curves is the answer!
Open up your image in Photoshop. Create a new layer for curves (look for the circle that is half black and half white and select curves). Choose your adjustments tab. Then click on the curves (mine is the third from the left on the top row). Place your curser in the middle click and drag down to darken the photo...pay attention to the background color. Now go get the brush tool and set your brush to black. Go paint to reveal your photo underneath.
* If you happen to go "outside the lines" you must start all over...just kidding! Simply go change the color of your brush to white and paint over the area you didn't want to lighten up!
need to brighten your subject
Curves is the answer yet again! I love curves...not too many if you know what I mean.

Then click on the curves (mine is the third from the left on the top row). Place your curser in the middle click and drag up to lighten the photo.
