Just one thing to help the forum... If you use Photoshop you can post fairly large pictures which are under 100k using the 'save for web' function in Photoshop as described in this thread:
(Size, Quality and/or Format your Attached Images..)
The save for web function in the latest Photoshop is hidden under File>Export>Save for web (legacy)

This thread explains (How to attach Files/Images to your Posts or Threads )

If you want to post a larger resolution that is over 100K then you can host your image elsewhere and attach a link in the thread, but also, always please attach an under 100K version (so the thread remains useful in the future, regardless of external links). (link to the highest resolution.. or the largest size you can upload)

Re: Remove shadow from baby face

You may want to try a simple dodge and burn layer.

Add a blank layer and set blend mode to Soft light (optional to fill with 50% grey)
Now use your brush tool set to white and at low opacity gently paint over the area to reduce the shadows to an acceptable level or remove completely then adjust layer opacity to taste.
You may need to add some colour back by painting on a new layer set to Colour with a low opacity brush

Quick try on image below - wait a couple of seconds for change
