Photos taken at night: The problem of not being able to see faces well due to darkness.

Recently, it's said that smartphone cameras are developing to be on par with DSLRs!

However, we often experience situations where photos taken at night are, "too dark to see the face...."

While it's possible to simply brighten a photo using functions available on smartphones or Instagram,

it often feels like the image quality suffers, and bright spots may get blown out, leaving you far from a satisfactory result.

That said, it's also difficult and cumbersome to use Photoshop on a computer...
