It honestly depends on the bitmap I'm compositing. I'm using Paint.NET for one thing, so I can't say anything about Photoshop, but I usually can just crank up the brightness to max in Paint.NET. Also, one thing is that if you place the Ambient Occlusion/Specular Map under the Normal Map, it'll make the whole composite map darker, so I just desaturate the Normal Map, and put it above the Diffuse, but below the Spc/Amb map.
