well I was trying to get the "glow" of the macs in the dark. It looked good on the camera screen, but photographed to dark. I have seen people capture somthing glowing in a photo and have it look like it looks in reality, but I dont know how to set the camera for proper exposure. Since Terry Dewick has now recapped and cleaned/updated my stuff I was gonna re take the photo in the "light" to symbolize how nice and clean and better sounding they are now. I just havent had the time.
I'd recommend the free GIMP program to mess around with pictures. If you screw up you can get some interesting effects. The program is overkill for most things and I really have no idea how to use it properly. I prefer to use it improperly.
I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager (Came with Office 2007)
Just increased the brightness and contrast. Then increased the color saturation and played with the Hue controls. Not the most powerful program but effective for most of the image processing I do.
