In the Peter's image, the characters are rather dark and the sky is=20
rather bright. So even if the command processes the whole image, it=20
brightens only the characters.
You can look at the corrected image :

The command is :
Image > Adjustments > Shadow/Highlight

and the do***entation on the command :
