Does this count as "not the onion"? Not trying to pile onto the "lol cyberstuck" bandwagon or anything, but there is really nothing unexpected going on here. That thing is already well-known for breaking down under tame conditions.
Yeah, my third panel is taken from when Bashir was actually saying that line. But despite that technically being more accurate to the source material, I think that is not all that necessary when creating a meme. I think your third panel is better at depicting a sort of "caught off-guard" expression that fits with the tone of the meme, whereas my third panel is more of a knowing "we're both in on the joke" expression.
"I know you're interviewing John Boehner later. You should know that he has very tiny hands, so...""Let him hold a miniature golf scoring pencil to make them look normal, obviously."
I assume that means you use a filter or something literally called "brightness". If your app offers an option called "exposure", try that instead. I tend to get more desirable results using that for brightening photos.
Unlike brightness, exposure is highly biased towards the highlights in the picture. In layman language, it will act as if increasing the amount of light in the picture, without much affecting the darker areas in the picture.
