As far as I think I know, in many photo editing programs, including
Gimp, it usually goes like this:
Tools > Colour tools > Levels...
Select Channel: Red; click 'Auto'
Select Channel: Green; click 'Auto'
Select Channel: Blue; click 'Auto'
Select Channel: Value; click 'Auto'
That should do it in most cases.
For grayscale photos, skip the colours.
For more 'difficult' cases, try to adjust the 'Input Levels' and
'Output Levels' in this same dialog, and/or try Tools > Colour Tools >
Curves..., e.g. to sharpen the contrast in the dark areas.
