A good way to tell if the picture will be too dark is to zoom out and see if the picture still reads well as a thumbnail. Photoshop, and Manga Studio 5(I'm not familiar with other programs) have a "navigator" which is meant to be used for showing where on the canvas you're looking at, but makes a great "thumbnail". Some say to squint, but I use to have crap vision and I found squinting not a great option for me, but apparently that can work- if it reads well then it should be fine. Lastly, you can turn it into grey scale and see if the tones read as grey scale- if it doesn't, you can knock the luminosity down. There are exceptions obviously to if you want the picture to read dark, but you can punch the saturation and hue to make it readable in other ways

I hope that helps to know?
