DarkEnlight

python-fu darkenlight This utility add to your picture a layer in Softlight mode filled in gray with a mask filled with the Value channel of the picture. The resulting effect is that the pixels are more enlighted than they was dark at the beginning. With a fill of gray 50% there is no visible effect but with brighter gray you modify the enlightment of the picture dark tones. Once the Softlight layer made you can still adjust the luminosity with the Brightness-Contrast tool of GIMP. I use this utility when I want see/show more details in the picture dark tones.

SoftLight

Often it's used to add light in a dark photo. With a fill of gray 50% there is no visible effect but with brighter/darker gray you modify the enlightment of all the picture. Once the Softlight layer made you can still adjust the luminosity with the Brightness-Contrast tool of GIMP. If there was a selection at start they will be used to create a layer mask to preserve some parts (for example a sky) of the picture of the global enlightment correction.
