Fix Lighting editing instruction

Basic Fixes

Correct the lighting in the uploaded image by balancing exposure, recovering lost shadow and highlight detail, and evening out harsh contrast. Preserve the subject, composition, and true colors. Produce a naturally lit result that looks like it was captured with good lighting on set, not a flat filter. Do not blow out highlights, crush shadows to solid black, or shift the overall color balance.
