Brightness and Contrast in your photos

Black and White 40's style glamor

One of the things that I do regularly now that I’m in the digital age is to increase the brightness and contrast on almost all of my photos.  I will open the file, do any touch ups and then increase the brightness and contrast.  This basic function will be in any photo editing software be it PhotoShop, Paint Shop Pro or inexpensive or even free software.  If I have planned to convert the picture to black and white, I will do these steps first.   You will have to play around with the adjustments but once you get a setting you like and you have taken a series of pictures you will probably find that you can use the same settings for that whole series.
