Lighting the Picture

Do you have any dark picture and you want to create lighting picture effect in Photoshop, don't worry this tutorial will help you. I am going to work on sea picture; it has been taken on evening time so it has no brightness.

Capture any picture to give brightness on; I have selected a picture for learning purpose. 

Make duplicate layer by press Ctrl + J key and change the blending mode of the layer "Normal" to "Screen".

Click on the "Adjustment Layer" button in the layer palette and choose Levels, make adjustment of the slider to increase color levels.

You get this picture.

Click on the "Adjustment Layer" button again and choose Levels then change the channel "RGB" to "Green" and make adjustment, do it two times more with changed channels and settings.

Click on the "Adjustment Layer" button again and choose "Brightness/Contrast", make same adjustment, if you want to give more brightness and contrast you can adjust as you like.

The lighted picture is completed.
