Click on the brightest spot </li><li>As soon as you click the change should be visible </li><li>If you're feeling adventurous, you can click on the middle of the three eye-droppers and select a part of the image that should be grey, but this is a bit harder to get right </li><li>Make sure to click OK in the dialog when you're finished, otherwise your changes will be discarded. </li><li>For last minute tweaking, select Layer->Colors->Brightness-Contrast and muck about with those a bit. </ol> <p>The resulting image should look a lot better, though there may be some speckling (this is why pros use the Curves dialog).
