I used Paint Shop Pro to do the adjustments.
Go to "Adjust", then open "Brightness and Contrast".
Start with adjusting "Contrast". Move the slider to the left a little bit.
Next adjust "Levels". On "Input Levels", there are 3 diamonds on the slider, move the right hand slider to the left. If the background gets too light, move the left hand diamond to the right. Play around with this until you get a pleasing image.
Next adjust " Curves" Moving the diagonal line up to lighten, down to darken.
"Histogram Adjustment" I usually only adust the right hand perpendicular slider "Midtones Compress".
That's about it.
It's easy to over process though. So small adjustments on each one is a good idea. You can always go back and readjust later.
