How can I make this photo of me brighter?

Question

I think it's wayyy too dark to be a MySpace/Facebook photo, but would very much like it as one.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use Adobe photoshop ^_^

Or if you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager, you can adjust the brightness, contrast, in any way you want.

Answer 2

just click edit, in photobucket. u can edit pictures in photobucket.

Answer 3

well first of all, why didn't you have your flash on? and photoshop works great, you can do so much with it, brighten, change the hues etc...

Answer 4

Do you have photoshop? Go to Edit -- Adjustments -- Curves. Play around with the chart until you get what you want.

Answer 5

That image is far too underexposed to use for anything.  It will have to be re-shot using manual settings on the camera.  Your reflective vest is fooling the camera's meter and it is exposing for the vest ... not you.

Answer 6

go to www.picnik.com, create an account, upload your picture to the website, and then you'll see all the features, ( you'll find your way around, it's easy to work) and then increase the exposure, and it'll become brighter, there's also a thing on that website, where you can publish it right to facebook, so you don't have to resave it, if you don't want to.

good luck :)

Answer 7

Shine a flashlight on it.

Answer 8

well in photoshop you can change the contrast somehow

Answer 9

easy use the PHOTOBUCKET EDITER.

works wonders.

Answer 10

The short answer is to use tools such as picasa, gimp, photoshop, etc.  I disagree with the posters that said this frame is unusable.  I kicked it up about two stops in Bibble-pro and used the built in "Noise-Ninja" to smooth out the noise from the underexposure.  Take a look at the link for my version

Answer 11

you really cant the only way to probably have an effect on it is if you went to a professional photo shop person to do something, you should of had a flash on the camera when you took it.

Answer 12
