If you are using photoshop try adjusting for the shadows the way you 
want then take a snapshot of it(look for the little dropdown arrow 
on the upper right of the history window) then undo the adjustment
(very important). Then paint it in with the history brush with your 
snapshot as the source for the history brush.
