Photo Editing

I have been attempting to use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 by Dell to edit an important photo taken by a Polaroid digital camera. The flash on the camera is extremely bright and attempts to reduce it have been unsuccessful. Is there any way to fix this problem using this program so that the picture looks normal? If not, how could I do this and what program could I use, or is it even possible at all? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you! Sam Gubbels
