Usually it is easier to enhance an image with the levels tool. You can use the Brightness/Contrast/Gamma tool if you prefer to alter these settings individually.

Select the Brightness, Contrast and Gamma tool by using the drop down list at the top left of the Enhance Image Control Palette.

Slide the Brightness, Contrast and Gamma sliders to the desired settings.
