To level this photo’s exposure for web display, download it and open in Photoshop or Gimp. (To download a photo directly from a browser window, right click on your mouse and pull down on the menu to “save image as.” You can save it to a special folder or the desktop, wherever it’s easiest to find.)
Then open in Photoshop or Gimp and:
Adjust Image Levels (brightness, contrast, color levels)
To adjust the brightness and contrast levels of your photos, go to the upper pull-down menu in Photoshop and open the “Image/Image Adjust / Levels” dialogue box. You’ll see the histogram representing the brightness and contrast. Adjust the small triangles under the photo until they best match the photo information.
In Gimp, open the level dialogue box under “Colors” in the top menu.

- Reduce the image size for web display:
- Change the resolution to 72 pixels per inch. (Be sure to check the resample box).
- Change the width and height. For most photos this should be around 5 by 7 inches (or 500 pixels by 360 pixels). Be careful: Don’t confuse pixels and inches. A 500 inch wide photo will be huge)
