Brightness and contrast questions
What is the difference between brightness and contrast?
Brightness shifts the image's overall lightness. Contrast increases or reduces the difference between darker and lighter pixels.
Can this recover clipped highlights or black shadows?
No. It can rebalance visible pixel values, but detail that was not captured in the source image cannot be restored.
Are the adjustments applied to the downloaded image?
Yes. The tool changes the pixel data before it creates the downloadable result.
Make another image adjustment
Use blur, pixel art, resizing and other browser-based image tools.
