Forgot to use flash on before pics... :(

Okay, so I had my husband take some pics with our DSLR, but we forgot to pop the flash up so it would flash and the pictures came out really dark. I tried using Picnik to lighten it, but it comes out cartoony and makes my gray shirt look really too dark.

Is there anything I can do to fix it (if one of you can do it, I'll gladly let you and would appreciate it) or will I need/have to take new pics?

    I believe photoshop has an online version of their program you can use for free. I have the newest photoshop and I can see if i can lighten them also.

    There's a program called GIMP that is basically a free version of Photoshop, you can get it online, might help!

    I would just re-take them. You're only 5 lbs in. Do it before you lose anymore, though.

    I would love that. Give me a moment and I'll host the pics and edit this post with links to the pics! I'd greatly appreciate it! I had to have my husband take my pics. May take some more tonight just for grins so I can be sure to get good ones.

    But if you can edit them to get them lighter and maybe even crop them closer, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!
