To my untrained eyes, it appears that the only way to make the light 
spots look light is to make everything else dark. Not even talking about 
the limitations of the camera; the monitor only goes up to 255, 255, 
255. It cannot go any brighter. The only way to make stuff look bright 
seems to be to make everything else dark. (But you're welcome to try...)
