Rescue an underexposed photo.

[scottbergerphoto]

Have you ever taken a shot that you had to have only to find that it is very underexposed? Before you throw it away try this:
1. Open Photo.
2. CTRL-J (Copies to a new layer).
3. Set Blend Mode in the Layers palate to Screen.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you lighten the photo enough or a little too much.
5. Make the last layer you added active by clicking on it if it isn't already active and adjust the opacity to reduce the effect of the last copy.

It took me a while to understand what was going on with the black and white, but once I did, yes I fell in love with Layer Masks. Don't tell my wife! ;)
