Contrast

Controls the extreme ranges of the

 

gradation curve without affecting the

 

middle tones.

Brightness

Adjusts the overall lightness or

 

darkness of the image.

 

Move the slider bar to the right to

 

increase brightness (raise every

 

point along the gradation curve).

 

Move the slider bar to the left to

 

decrease brightness (lower every

 

point along the gradation curve).

Highlights

Controls only the points to the far

 

right on the gradation curve. Adjust

 

these anchors with the slider when

 

you want to adjust white areas

 

without affecting shadows.

Midtones

Adjusts the three anchor points in the

 

middle of the curve without affecting

 

the values of the highlight or shadow

 

points. When the midtone slider is

 

used, all three of these points are

 

adjusted in relation to each other.
