Gimp vs Photoshop vs Picasa

[Sy Ali]

Yes, the gimp has a level-editing function.  Once you're in that
screen there's an "auto" button of some kind which takes a best guess.
 It's not bad.

Also, adjusting the white level is worlds away from adjusting contrast.

Image > Colo(u)r Tools > Levels

There you'll see an Auto button.

Enjoy.

FYI there are some nice tricks where you can mask off a certain area
and only change the levels for that region.  It does wonders for
fixing things above/below a horizon or in/out of shadow.

Sy,
