Answer 1

Well you could always change the brightness or contrast?

There's probably an option to do it on Photoshop or any other photo editing programme.

Answer 2

Yes Photoshop. There are a few ways to achieve that effect, depending on your starting photograph. If your photo is a bit dark to start with you can lighten it a bit by using image > adjustments > shadow/highlight and move up the shadow slider until you get it light enough without it looking bad.

Next

Duplicate the layer with the photo. On the top layer go to Filter > gaussian blur and turn up the blur until it's fairly blurry but hasn't lost too much detail.

Then in your layers palette change the blending mode from normal to overlay and reduce the opacity until desired effect or change to soft light if you want a softer look. .

Answer 3

I'm not an expert on photo-editing, but it looks as though the contrast has just been chanmged, to make the lighter features stand out against the darker parts of the picture. Just stick it into PhotoShop and have a look for contrast and mess around with it for a bit.

Hope that helps.

Answer 5

The camera the pic was taken with has a lot to do wiht how bright it looks and "clean" too but photoshop also play wiht the shadows, brightness, contrasts, ect. there are free photoahop tutorials to help learn how to do that stuff with too.
