Using the Brightness/Contrast command


The Brightness/Contrast command lets you make simple adjustments to the tonal range of an image.

To use the Brightness/Contrast command:

1 Do one of the following:
  • Choose Enhance > Brightness/Contrast > Brightness/Contrast.
  • Create a new Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer, or open an existing Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer. (See Using adjustment layers and fill layers.)

    • 2 Drag the sliders to adjust the brightness and contrast.

    Dragging to the left decreases the level; dragging to the right increases it. The number at the right of each slider value displays the brightness or contrast value. Values can range from -100 to +100.

    3 Click OK.
