Understanding Increase Exposure

Simulate increasing camera exposure to brighten your entire image naturally. 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.
