    Like Exposure , if an image is underexposed or overexposed, you can adjust it using Brightness & Contrast . However, unlike Exposure , Brightness & Contrast tends to keep the highlights (brights) unchanged while adjusting the midtones and shadows (darks). It also provides an additional slider for adjusting contrast – the amount of difference between the shadows and highlights.
    ::像曝光一样,如果图像暴露不足或过度,你可以使用亮度和对比度来调整图像。 但是,与曝光不同,亮度和对比度往往保持亮度(brights)不变,同时调整中点和阴影(darks ) 。 它还为调整对比度(阴影和亮度之间的差异)提供了额外的滑动器。

    Open the image “05_PalmTrees1.jpg” again in Pixlr Editor. As you may recall, this image is underexposed. This time, you’ll use Brightness & Contrast to fix the image.
    ::在 Pixlr 编辑器中再次打开图像“ 05_ PalmTreees1. jpg ” 。 您可能记得, 此图像曝光不足。 这次您将使用 Brightness 和 Contrast 来修正图像 。

    Click on the Adjustment menu and choose Brightness & Contrast .

    1. Click and drag the Brightness slider to the right to make the image lighter.

    2. This will wash out the image. Wash out describes the appearance when an image with little difference between the darks and highlights. This difference is called contrast .
      ::这将冲洗图像。 洗掉描述图像的外观, 当图像在黑暗和亮点之间几乎没有区别时。 这个差异被称为对比 。
    3. Drag the Contrast  slider to the right to increase the contrast.

    Now, the image is more balanced – not too dark, with enough contrast to give it depth.

    Now, find the image “06_PalmTrees2.jpg” and open it in Pixlr Editor. The image is a little overexposed - too bright. Note that any areas in a photo that are completely overexposed can’t be darkened. These areas are referred to as blown out . One of these areas is the beach sandbar in the middle right area of the image. The sand is very bright, there is no detail available in the pixels, and darkening can't create something that isn't there.
