Speaking for myself, I achieve the best results lightening underexposed/shadowed areas with:
Enhance -> Adjust Lighting -> Lighten Shadows
This is an editing feature of Photoshop Elements 5.0. I assume something like it exists with Photoshop 4.
Another feature I use lot is cropping to a 3:2 format (for 4 x 6 prints) from the 4:3 format that is used with most cameras sold today. But this can be done with the uploading tools of Kodak and most photo processing labs.
In regards to Photoshop 4, if you could recommend one feature for me as a beginner to concentrate on, that was pretty basic, but enhanced photos tremendously, what would it be?
