Tutorial #1 - Adriana Lima
My first ever tutorial so it's not anything major. Brightening up dark images. I used Adobe PhotoShop CS2 and it uses Curves.
From

in 3 easy steps.
Prepare your base as you normally would
1. Layers > New Adjuestment Layer > Curves
RGB: Input: 100
Output: 170
2. Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation
Saturation: +25 (Depends on your image. Please increase the saturation responsibly. I don't want you to end up with a grainy image)
3. Layers > New Adjustment Layer > Curves
RGB: Input: 115
Output: 135
And you're done! Other examples:
Have an image you like but isn't really dark enough and it ends up looking really light? There's a simple trick to that. Just duplicate your image and set it to multiply. Then adjust the fill responsibly until you get the outcome you want.
