It sounds far more as if your problem is one of underexposure rather
than problematic shadows-- and the two situations are handled entirely
differently-- but if shadow correction is really all that's needed, and
you own a fairly recent version of Photoshop, it's a matter easily
addressed.
The Shadow/Highlights feature that was first introduced in CS2 or CS3
(over the years one tends to lose track of just when each innovation has
appeared) makes quick work of blocked up shadows, and is the most
effective and efficient way in which to tackle the problem. If your
version of Photoshop includes this feature, just open your image and go
to Image/Adjust/Shadows-Highlights and move the Shadows slider until the
heavily shadowed areas have sufficiently opened up.
If your copy of Photoshop predates this feature, there are other ways to
go about dealing with the problem, but I'd want more information-- and a
look at the image in question-- before taking the time to go into the
necessary detail.
