I took some pictures and forgot to change the aperture on my camera when I went from outdoors to indoors, so the pictures came out extremely underexposed. Is there a way to fix this in photoshop?

Here is the picture:

There is hardly any information there.

Photoshop can perform magic, but no miracles.

What you end up with could be used as an image in a 90's tv show about ghosts.

If the original is in RAW you might get out a little more than that, but it'll probably still be useless for anything other than court case evidence

Wow that's a really butchered exposure, I'm assuming you were shooting film?
