Remember, we'll be using Pixlr X throughout this lesson, so this process may vary depending on the software you're using. Try this!ĭrag the slider in the interactive below to adjust the contrast of the image.įor best results, we recommend using the Chrome web browser with these interactives. It will also usually increase the saturation of the image, which we'll discuss in more detail below. However, increasing the contrast too much can lead to a loss in image detail. In the example below, notice how the sky at the top of the image becomes brighter, but the trees and rocks become darker. In other words, you're making the dark parts darker and the light parts lighter. When you increase the contrast, you're making the difference between the light and dark areas of the image more noticeable. We'll cover reducing image noise later in this lesson. In the example below, you may notice that the green background in the image on the right looks rough and grainy. This is because you're also brightening any noise the image may have. However, increasing the brightness for a very dark image can lead to a lot of image noise, or graininess. If an image is too dark, you can try increasing the brightness, as in the example below. When you adjust the brightness, you're changing the overall level of light and dark in the image. You can offset this by adjusting the brightness and contrast of the image. This can be caused by several factors, including the lighting where the photo was taken and camera settings. Sometimes an image may look too bright or too dark. If you change your mind later on, you can always go back to the original version and start over. As long as you keep a copy of the original file, feel free to try different adjustments to find what works for your image.
