How to use Brightness / Contrast Adjuster

Brightness moves the overall lightness of an image, while contrast changes the separation between lighter and darker tones. Adjust both carefully to avoid clipped detail.

Choose the image.
Correct brightness first, then refine contrast.
Check highlights and shadows for lost detail before downloading.

Practical example

An underexposed reference photo can be brightened and given modest contrast for clearer viewing.

Useful tips

Use small adjustments.
Watch white and black areas for clipping.
Compare with the original regularly.

Limitations

Severely clipped highlights or shadows may contain no recoverable detail.
