I'm not very good with this photoshop stuff (took my much too long and use of a book to create the side by side thing above) but what IS kind of amazing (IMO) is that my camera actually took the picture on the left - WAY too dark (which I knew when I took it) but I also knew that by shooting in "RAW" format in my camera that the software would happily convert it to the photo on the right with just a few minutes of my time. Pretty cool stuff... (I'm not sure I'd bother printing the photo on the right as it actually has a lot of "grain" in it because the camera just didn't have much light to work with - it was after sundown after all). Like most things, the more you know they more you can do and the more fun you can have :-)
