Help with rejection

[L. Smith]

Hi,

Any tips on how to fix this image? http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1315562

Would it just be a case of adjusting the levels to make it brighter?

Thanks for all your help.

Nice shot. I adjusted levels, exposure, and contrast in PS and came up with this:

Hi,
Michael, you improved the pic but it is still too dark and lacks contrast. It really needs more light to make it acceptable for the DB.

Hi there Mr Smith, you should be able to bring it up to DB standards all you need to do is adjust your rgb curve to brighten the image. You don't have to do it all in one go, a couple of adjustments, one to brighten the image and one to add contrast should do. One thing to be careful about is when adjusting an underexposed image it is likely you will enhance any noise present in the image.

I have modified your image to show you what it can look like after adjustment.

Good luck .. Jid

Thanks for the quick responses and feedback.

I had a play around with it in Photoshop and came up with this. http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/6...891copykb3.jpg

Is this any better?

It is certainly a lot better than the original. A little hard to tell exactly as I am at work on an un-calibrated monitor but it looks like it would make DB quality.
