Have Photoshop automatically restore your photo

There are a few different automatic corrections that Photoshop can perform, and each produces a different result. So you could try a few to see which one looks best for a particular photo.
First, I would try Auto Tone: in the Image menu, select Auto Tone and see how it looks. If it doesn't look right, press Cmd-Z (PC: Ctrl-Z), which undoes the automatic correction.
In the same menu, try Auto Contrast (this is more focused on adding contrast, which may be just what your photo needs). If that doesn't look good enough either, undo it as well and try the next one, Auto Colour.
If none of these produce the desired result, go to Camera Raw Filter in the Filter menu. When the Camera Raw Filter window appears, click the Auto button (this looks more like a link than a button and is located below the white balance sliders).
If your photo now looks too bright, as is sometimes the case with this automatic correction in Camera Raw, move the Exposure slider a little until you think it looks right.
