• Level 7: Use of the Photo Manipulating Software (Color/Brightness): Illuminate the Darkness.. What does it means? Basically you need to light it up.. So you need to lower contrast and bright it up to see the next level found below right of the image

Procedure:

1. Download and save as the image

2. Open with Photoshop or any photo editor that has brightness/contrast

In Photoshop

Brightness: +150

Contrast: -50

Make sure the preview is checked so that you can see the changes when you change the value of brightness/contrast. :)

In the below-right of that portion, you will notice a WORD and use it as a password later on.

*Alternative with brightness/contrast

Use of Levels
Set the center value in the range of 2-4 and you will see the WORD.

Hint: the word means To keep from being seen, found, observed, or discovered.

  XI(11) try to change it to XII(12) same with previous level...oh wait, it will display wrong number so basically, we need to get other hint here.

The first photo has a number there and it is set opacity low and it is 1009, we need to convert it to Roman Numeral since the photo has a Rome and the page source linked to Roman Numeral.

Convert Number to Roman Numeral here: http://www.onlineconversion.com/roman_numerals_advanced.htm

Hint: The word is To combine or blend into one

• Level 12: Keys | view the page source and you will get
  
  Is it the monitor? but it says, the keys..so infront of me is my keyboard and mouse and therefore it is literally means only the keyboard .
  
  Next:
   
  Since it is in the keyboard, we will examined the hint
  
  i ->  o
  x -> c
  
  It turns out that the key 'i' becomes 'o' and 'x' to 'c' so the pattern here is the NEXT RIGHT key on the Standard keyboard.
  
  Therefore, in this statement:   
  Move all to next right key
  u ->
  b ->
  c ->
  w- ->
  b- ->
  r- ->
  u- ->
  i- ->
  b ->
  
  If theres a problem with your keyboard you can use this hint also.
  Also the hint is: a machine/device. 9 characters.
