How to Lighten a Photo in GIMP
If you have a digital photo on your computer that appears too dark to you, you can lighten it using GIMP, a free software application that enables you to edit digital images. For example, you might receive a photo that was taken under dim lighting conditions, making it hard to see details. You can easily open the photo in GIMP and adjust the brightness level of the image so you can see details more clearly.
