This is my fiance', Haylee, at Indiana Tech. This picture was taken with a nikon D60. As you can see, the lighting is not the greatest.
This is the new picture of Haylee, edited with Picasa. I first tried the "I'm feeling lucky" button, but that didn't look quite right. I then tried the "fill light" slider in various positions. As you can see, the picture looks much brighter, including the blue in her eyes and orange on the uniform.
