photo adjusting help

usually i can figure things out fairly quickly. not this time. i took a pic indoors. half of the pic is fine, but the other half has some major sun coming in from behind. i tried all the adjustment features (i think) in PSE but i still can't get it right.

can someone help me? i'll take step by step instructions or if you just wanna do it, that's fine by me too. i just need help.

thanks! :kisses

Good question. I struggle with things like this all the time...to the extent of just deleting (or not messing with) the pictures all together:(

in pse - do abounding box ( click and drag) and draw it around the section that has lighting problems.
Then go to "adjust lighting" and it should only adjust that one half.
