Adjusting the brightness and contrast of an image

Brightness/Contrast modifies the contrast or brightness of pixels in an image. This affects the highlights, shadows, and midtones of an image. You typically use Brightness/Contrast when correcting images that are too dark or too light.

To adjust the brightness and contrast of an image:

1. Open the page containing the image you want to adjust, select the image, and do either of the following:
   • Click the Brightness/Contrast button in the image Property inspector
   • Select Modify > Image > Brightness/Contrast

   The Brightness/Contrast dialog box is displayed.

2. Drag the Brightness and Contrast sliders to adjust the settings.

   Values range from -100 to 100.

3. Click OK.
