On one of those rare occasions when my family was together, somebody
suggested a family photograph. Unfortunately, it was warm inside and
cold outside so the image ended up with the top half of the photograph
washed out, almost fogged over, while the bottom half is fine. There
are a couple of other minor flaws as well (trees growing out of my
brothers head, another brothers hair messed up) but I have been able
to fix these. Any ideas on how to get the big problem resolved. I am
a newbie who uses PSE for organization and minor adjustments and have
recently upgraded to PSE 7.

Some further detail: I've added a number of adjustment layers to
different parts of the washed out part of the picture which have
improved it significantly. Is this the correct approach or is there
some other strategy I should use. This brings me to another question,
what is the correct strategy for tackling a problem image like this?
Apply general fix to background to optimize it followed by adjustment
layers, etc.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Evidently you are serious, but I am still puzzled about this. You attribute
the unevenness in the image to a difference in indoor/outdoor temperature?
I don't see how this is possible. Please explain. As to making the two
parts look alike, I would make two layers, and work on work on each part
separately--then use an eraser to make them blend so the seam does not show.
