Didn’t work any more tips

There’s not a lot you can do with this issue. The image sensors & software on a smart phone don’t give you much control over the photo’s settings. Dark leggings are incredibly hard to shoot even with professional camera equipment.

In the future, try to shoot the black leggings while the sun (or light source) is directly behind the subject.

Photoshop is the tool I use for editing.
You can lighten the Shadows tones with ease.
Before editing

After

Use Shadows/Highlights…
Adjust the first slider in the Shadows/Highlights option “Amount”
around 20% – 40% adjustment.

Don’t over do it or you will just fuck up the photo
and get tons of artifacts and pixels.
