  The exposure of picture is very dark and it is called as underexposed picture. We will correct the exposure of the image using Photoshop.

 First open the image in Photoshop. First step is to duplicate the background layer (short key CTRL+J) now make sure that the new duplicate layer is selected. Go to image /adjustment/equalizer

  
 

 The equalizer tool automatically correct the exposure of the picture if it be over exposed it will correct it and when it is underexposed it will also correct it.

 STEP TWO

 Duplicate the back ground copy  layer (CTRL+J) so it become background copy layer 2 and then adjust the Gaussian blur at .1 radius( Filter/Blur/Gaussian Blur) and press ok. Also adjust the sharpen at .5 radius at 100 amount and threshold at o and press ok (Filter/Sharpen/ Unsharpened mask)
