1. Use PS to open the picture and see that with such a large light ratio, if you want to see the dark place, it is hopeless to adjust the brightness.

Note, here comes the trick. After the picture is opened, press CTRL+ALT+~, ~ is the key in the upper left corner. Okay, now selection ants appear on the picture, indicating that some things have been saved in the selection.

3. Now copy the layer. Be careful not to use shortcut keys. You can only use the menu to copy the layer.

7. Then what we have to do is to select the blending option to Screen Color (SCREEN in English). We noticed that the image became lighter.

Continuously press CTRL+J until the brightness is appropriate. I pressed it 5 times for this picture. We found that the bright areas did not become brighter and overflowed, but the dark areas were compensated for brightness.

9. You may be familiar with the next step, that is, merging layers.

10. See how the histogram height has improved.

Okay, after some trimming, it looks like this. Although the image quality is not as good as when the exposure is accurate, at least the content in the dark can be seen, which makes up for it somewhat.
