A simple method I often try for adjusting the exposure of photos is to duplicate the layer, desaturate and color-invert the duplicate, and then set the Layer Mode of the duplicate to Overlay (or Soft Light, depending on the image). This has the effect of lightening the dark areas and darkening the light areas. The Opacity of the duplicate layer can usually be adjusted to provide a pleasing result.
