Photoshop advice

Priest · 18-02-2009, 14:23

I was wondering if there's anyway to lighten photo's taken without flash?

I'm trying not to use the flash where possible so not to disturb Joe, or any of the other babies on the ward too much. Can this be done in PS using levels or curves (I've read a little about using these), or is it more complex?

Any help will be much appreciated.

I've never been great at lightening photos and having them stay looking decent so I suspect someone else will be able to better this attempt:

Just used levels to do that.

Same image run through Noiseware on default:

Cheers Kitten.

Divine, there both great, was the second one done with the Noiseware plugin or the standalone version (or are they both the same)?

Thanks again.

Standalone, though I have no idea if there are any differences.

Cheers mate, will have to have a look at it when/if I have some free time.

Pretty impressive considering how dark the original looks.

Think I went a bit overkill
