First of all, huge thanks for the reactions.

Evil: It's not my intention to brighten these area's because there's indeed nothing to brighten up there except noise. So it has to be artificial.

Tom: Normally in broad daylight the picture of the wall would look like the one I posted. Because of the sunlight.

I'm trying to achieve the following effect: It's night, and the light is coming from below/in front of the wall.

I did some lighting by using gradients with different blending modes. But these gradients don't affect the shadowy holes in the wall. At least not without ruining the rest of the effects.

Here's an example of the effect I've reached right now:

As you can see the effects don't affect the shadow spots. I want to remain the current effects untouched, so I only want to change the shadow.

ibclare: Excelent idea, I'm going to experiment with that right now. I'll let you guys know if I make any progress.

Meanwhile, I appreciate the input. I believe you guys can help me out with this one.
