Do you have Microsoft office? If so, try opening your picture with it. Chose "Edit Picture" & click on Contrast & Brightness. At the bottom of the choices is a selection for something like "mid-tones" or something similar. Chose it by putting your pointer to the left side of the center marker & clicking. It will dull down some of the overly bright colors that seem to appear when the colors aren't really that bright. Just about every pic I post lately needs some kind of adjustment. Maybe it's because of the artificial light - you suppose? Anyway, as you are clicking away, your picture changes right there & then, so when you get to a point that you like, you can save it. If you don't like what you are seeing, just exit. You can click on any of the choices & see what they do to your picture. It's kinda fun!
