You could try using the spray gun tool. But first choose colour that matches your background. Also save under a different name so you will still have the original. You can choose size of spray gun by going into brushes from your menu. And spray over dark unwanted shadows. I would not however recommend you use paint bucket else it will most likely go everywhere.Trying to remove shadows from background using adobe photoshop cs2?
try using the dodge tool... If that's not sufficient, You'll have to smudge and blur... That takes awhile, but it'll work.
Your best bets are the heal, clone stamp, and dodge tools. Adjust the opacity and flow if you are not getting the results you want.
