So i'm editing this picture of my friend:



I want to keep the sky at the same exposure, but the foreground is underexposed. So I selected the foreground with the quick selection tool so I could edit the exposure for just the foreground. After, I realized that there are some spots that I wasn't accurate enough and it is pretty obvious:



So my question is how do I go about blending the sky color into the spots that I missed, or do I have to take an hour making sure the quick selection tool is in the right places.

Thanks for the help! I used the adjust shadows and highlights and it worked like a charm. Ill definitely be using that in the future.

Thanks man! I don't use PS too much so I don't really know a lot when it comes to color correcting and dodging the image, but I'll definitely use this in the future.
