Aspect Ratio

If you have a content file with an Aspect Ratio that does not map to 1:1, you can choose whether to retain or adjust the Aspect ratio of the Sample Mask. Clicking Ignore in the Aspect Ratio field stretches the sample mask to fit the shape of the imported file. Clicking Keep centers the Sample mask on the imported image retaining the mask’s circular shape.

Contrast/Brightness

Contrast adjusts the relative brightness. A higher contrast means that darker areas will appear darker, and brighter areas will appear brighter. A lower contrast means that brighter parts will appear darker and that darker parts will appear brighter.

Brightness adjusts the overall brightness, increasing or decreasing it for all parts of an image.
