230104 2004-04-17 12:41:00 Photoshop 6 or 7 its the same info.

image>adjustments>brightness/contrast.

Then play with the sliders till you like what you see.

230105 2004-04-17 13:53:00 Use irfanview (a small free graphics graphics programme) download from irfanview.com

Then use its image tools to brighten your picture.
Use gamma correction not brightness to improve dark pictures
then play with contrast.

230106 2004-04-17 13:55:00 oh come on,no one who has a copy of photoshop should be refered to infranview. metla (154)
230107 2004-04-17 14:22:00 Oh yes they should. Photoshop to do a simple image enhancement is like using a sledgehammer to break eggs.
That aside irfanview is simply too useful to have. Nothing beats it for speed/versatility and price which of course is zero.
Dont get me wrong Photoshop is brilliant and I wish i could afford it (I use Photoshop elements 2 for more serious stuff) but by the time you have opened photoshop, found the tool your looking for, enhanced your pic, convinced it to save as a jpeg or bitmap instead of a psd file then selected your level of optimization, irfan view is finished and your printing the pic.

230108 2004-04-17 14:31:00 hmmm,before i wrote my post i jumped into photoshop,opened a pic,went through the steps i described and saved the image.

Took all of 20 or so seconds.

230109 2004-04-17 15:09:00 19 seconds in irfan view :-) the highlander (245)
230110 2004-04-17 23:26:00 Whats a second between friends?
