I remember that I revived some dark photos to normal look by simply
choosing certain gimp menus. Now I want to do it again, but couldn't find
the menu entry any more.

thanks everyone for the respond.
The retinex
http://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-retinex.html
looks very promising, but I found that it is not that automatic -- The default does not give optimal result, and I didn't seem to be able to find a good parameter combination. Sjoerd Hiemstra's suggestion, http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/270822
is the most comprehensive. I found it has covered all the cases
for my dark photos. thanks Sjoerd.

cheers

open your photo with the gimp. select 'tools' >> 'color tools' >> 'Brightness-Contrast' and save it under another name.

hope this helps,

regards,
