Some underexposed images are worthless regardless of how you try to save them.
I'll show you a method you can try first before you decide to trash it.

This technique should work 85% - 90% of the time. Watch out for noise though.

rjmiz... Thanks, checked it out.  I've done similar in PS7 with some visually exciting results. Have rescued many UE pix.  Problem is I don't have success pushing  most of these into stock.  I usually get shot down for 'overfiltering'  or  use of noise reduction software...  or whatever...   However, for home use,  gallery &  sales to magazines it works. 
      That's part of this stock industry I don't understand. I'm published in magazines with pictures stock has shot down for being over worked/ over filtered.  Why is that so?  If the pic looks great at 100, 200 & 300%, why's it matter if I filter the heck out of it? 
   Not being a wise guy...  I'd really like to know why to understand the business better.     Cool-tom

"If the pic looks great at 100, 200 & 300%..."

You never have to go beyond 100% to check your image for noise, artifacts etc.
100% means just that...this is the image I present to you, and at 100% rez.

If you go beyond 100% your bound to find artifacts. Remember their are no full time reviewers
who are also professional photographers making a living at taking photographs. That means
all your photographs are being reviewed by an amateur. Take it in stride.

HA... I couldn't care less about rejection.  LOL.  In fact on another thread today I was telling the same to another MSG friend,  take it in stride. Photos are like nachos, you can always make more.  I was only curious about why magazines buy my work and a micro might shoot it down.  I've had some of those rejected pix blown up full page in a magazine.
       About my 100-300% comment.   IS has required me to rework some images for trademark infringement purposes that you couldn't see unless you blew the pic up 200% or more.  I don't know how the reviewer even saw some of them.  Some of those same pix are on 9/10 other sites, the trademark never seen.  Frankly, I didn't complain either, rather, I was impressed!
    Keep those tips  coming. They are appreciated.   Cool-tom

Yeah. I've had the same thing happen on DT. Get rejected for copyright. What copyright? Blow it up 200% and scroll through. Find an illegible sign far in the background. Take it in stride and move on.
