Brightness / Contrast adjustment

Settings

Apply this adjustment via the Adjustments panel using the following settings:

• Brightness—controls the lightness/darkness of the image. Drag the slider to the left to decrease brightness, drag to the right to increase it.
• Contrast—controls the tonal range of the image. Drag the slider to the left to decrease the contrast between dark and light areas, drag to the right to increase it.
• Opacity—sets the level of visibility of the adjustment.
• Linear—by default, the adjustment provides a smooth, logarithmic adjustment by modifying pixels relative to their original lightness value. When selected, this option modifies pixels using absolute values, resulting in a stronger effect.
• Delete—closes the settings and deletes the adjustment layer, removing the adjustment.
• Merge—merges the current adjustment layer with the layer immediately below it in the layer order.
• Reset—reverts all adjustment settings to default.
