I took this photograph of Battleship Rock (can you guess why they call it that?) last Winter with my digital camera. The sky was overcast and the colors in the photo turned out very dark. Not the kind of picture the New Mexico Chamber of Commerce would be very happy to see on their Web site. Is is, however, a good example of a photo taken with a digital camera that could benefit from a little adjustment.

Let's see what we can do to brighten this image using Xara's Bitmap Effects and a touch of Xara magic.
