Understanding Decrease Exposure
Simulate decreasing camera exposure to darken your image and recover highlight detail. This adjustment modifies: Exposure -1 stop.
How brightness works: Brightness controls the overall lightness of every pixel. Increasing it lifts shadows and midtones, making the image appear lighter. Decreasing it deepens tones for a moodier look. Unlike exposure, brightness adjustments affect all tones somewhat equally.
When to combine adjustments: After adjusting brightness, you may want to tweak contrast to restore punch, since brightening can make images look washed out.
