Thread: Correct a Photo's Exposure

Let's say that you have a photo with severe brightness and contrast problems. If you're in a hurry and you haven't been trained in the art of photo manipu?lation, you need a program with separate sliders for adjusting the highlights and shadows. The concept is easy to grasp, and it gets the job done.

Where can you find such tools? If you use Photoshop Elements, you already have them, on the Quick tab (Quick Fix in version 5), under Lighting.
Alternatively, you have two free options. Microsoft's Windows Live Photo Gallery app (geUive.com) improves on Vista's Photo Gallery program. Select Fix-Adjust Exposure in Windows Live Photo Gallery (which runs in both Vista and XP), and you'll get both Highlights and Shadows sliders and a histo?gram, as well as the familiar old Brightness and Contrast options.

If you'd rather not install any software, try the free photo-editing site Picnik.Click the Upload Phoro button. Then click Exposure-Advanced to access the Highlights and Shadows sliders, plus a histogram. When you're done making adjustments, 'you can save the image back to your Pc.
