1. Open it in The GIMP.
2. Create a new layer.
3. Set its mode to "Overlay" or "Soft Light." (The mode selection is in the Layers dialogue box.)
4. Select the entire layer and fill it with white.
5. Experiment with opacity of the second layer or with colors or gradient fills if you wish.
6. Experiment more.
7. Menu: Image: Flatten.
8. Save.
I've recently discovered this while trying to make pictures taken without a flash in a dark room more or less decent---pick the overlay or soft light layer color appropriately and it's like you've turned on the light in the room. Whee.

I'm thinking of Ceiling Cat as being a level or two above Upstairs Cat in the hierarhy or something.
