Brightness Range Method This method requires you to take two readings from the scene: one from the highlight area where detail is desired and another from the shadow area where detail is desired.

Brightness/Contrast on an adjustment layer is perfect for darkening things because it does exactly what the darkroom burning used to do-it darkens everything equally.

Brightness range
Techniques Glossary Brightness range
The difference in luminance from the darkest to lightest areas of the image.

Finally, Brightness and Contrast that Actually Work!
I've written before that the Brightness/Contrast control in Photoshop is evil and should not be used since it operates linearly on every selected pixel.

Brightness & Contrast Control: This allows you to lighten or darken the image as well as increasing or decreasing contrast.
Curves: Curves is used to adjust brightness and contrast of each tone separately.

Brightness adjustment
The Brightness adjustment (first seen on the D300) makes a subtle brightness adjustment (Gamma adjustment) to the image, essentially shifting the 'mid gray point' slightly from the default, ...

Brightness:
A subjective, comparative measurement of luminance.

Brightness - Describes how light or dark we perceive a color to be. The higher the brightness value, the closer the color will be to white. The brightness of a color is the same as its value.

Brightness and Contrast
Editing software can correct a number of problems with brightness, sharpness and contrast in dull or fuzzy pictures. In fact, an otherwise perfect photo can be easily ruined by a slight problem with lighting.

Brightness
How white is white? For the brightest and most vibrant colour, you'll generally want to choose the brightest photo papers. The best way to determine brightness is simply to compare two or more papers side-by-side.

Brightness
Pretty much what it sounds like - this increases or decreases the luminance of a photo or selected area by whatever amount you specify. 0 means no change.

Brightness - The value of a pixel in an electronic image, representing its lightness value from black to white. Usually defined as brightness levels ranging in value from 0 (black) to 255 (white).

Brightness. Value of a pixel in a digital image giving its value of lightness from black to white, with o being black and 255 being white.

Brightness: In color, the difference in range from white when compared to dark tones and colors. Could also be considered to be contrast. In photography, brightness is dependent upon correct exposure.

Brightness Ratio, Contrast Ratio
The all-too-often awful truth about a subject or scene that has inappropriate or excessive Contrast. Meter reading procedure: Take two reflected-light readings: 1) the lightest significant area of the subject or scene ...

Brightness range - subjective term describing the difference in illumination between the darkest and lightest areas of the subject.
Brilliance - intensity of light reflected from a surface. It is sometimes an alternative term for luminosity.

brightness
(1) degree of reflectivity of a sheet of paper or similar substrate for blue light measured under standardized conditions by reflectometer calibrated for the wavelength of 457nm. (2) the overall intensity of the image.

Brightness.
Intensity of light energy. The brightness of light is determined by the height of its waveforms - the amplitude of the light vibrations.
cf. light interference, light, wavelength.

Brightness
The balance of light and dark shades in a image. Brightness is distinct from contrast, which measures the range between the darkness and lightest shades in a image.

The Brightness slider is equivalent to the midpoint slider in levels and sets midtone brightness. If you push it up too far you can start to affect the exposure setting and you’ll start blowing out highlights.

Exposure/Brightness has the same limitation as Curves when it comes to the tonal levels. In the shadows, Brightness/Contrast is limited to the relatively small number of levels that the shadows contain.

ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS & CONTRAST
The easiest (but least accurate) way to calibrate your display is to simply adjust its brightness and contrast settings.

Shade
The brightness or luminance of an image when compared to a gray scale.
Shadow Point
The darkest tone printable in an image without being black. All tonal values below this threshold will print as black.

Moving the brightness slider to the dark side makes the picture lighter, and vice-versa. It seems unlogical at first, but the explanation is the mathematical thing mentioned above.
I slide the brightness (gamma) from 1 to 1.16, and the result: ...

Change the brightness
So what do you do if your picture looks too bright, or if the histogram is stacking up steeply towards one side?

So, if the brightness of the pendulum is greater in the left eye than in the right, ...

To adjust the brightness and contrast of a black and white image, or to adjust the brightness and color balance of a color image, go to the Image menu and choose "Adjust." A submenu appears with 15 options.

contrast, and brightness are more effective on larger images because there is more image data to work with. After making these adjustments, you can reduce the file to the needed size.

An image where brightness appears consistent and uninterrupted; each pixel in a continuous-tone image uses at least one byte for its red, green, and blue values. This allows 256 density levels per color or more than 16 million color mixtures.

Grayscale - The brightness of a pixel expressed as a value representing it's lightness from black to white: Usually defined as a value from 0 to 255, with 0 being black and 255 being white.

Ensure your LCD brightness is set to Normal, not Bright, for a truer representation of your recorded image.

The ratio of the brightness of light falling on the subject from the main (key) light and other (fill) lights. A ratio of about 3:1 is normal for colour photography, greater ratios may be used for effect in black-and-white work.
Limiting aperture.

LUMINOSITY - the brightness of a light source.
LZW - Lossless compression when storing images.

Compare with DAC ADU - Analog-to-digital Unit ADUs are employed as a measurement of pixel value or brightness.

Most digital cameras will automatically reduce the brightness to a suitable level. If there is not enough light to begin with, you, or your surroundings will be very poorly lit.

Exposure Value; A number that represents available combinations of shutter speed and aperture offering the same exposure effect when scene brightness remains the same. Each EV number can be applied to various shutter speed and aperture combinations.

Each CCD has millions of pixels sensitive to brightness (Well you know how many, you can't miss that: 3.3 MegaPixel etc..). These pixels are on a very small space. In consumer cameras this would be from 8 mm to half an inch.

When shooting into the light such as with sunsets or backlit portraits, or landscapes shot into the sun, the brightness of the background will cause the subject to record as a silhouette.

Image composition is about light and light is about contrast/brightness and colors.

Method of quantifying scene brightness. Most of these values apply to metering cells, how high or low e.g.

We see contours when we detect a difference in brightness or color between adjacent areas.

Also, these machines print your images based off an average of the amount of the brightness of each image. This usually leads to many of your images looking underexposed or overexposed.

If I happen to get a gray/black edge between two pixels, I get almost the full brightness change from one pixel to the other. Otherwise, the change occurs over three pixels, with the middle pixel having an intermediate value.

The signals for brightness and colour of each singular smallest unit of the chip (pixel) are transfered into a digital memory device. Each digital picture is a file of such pixelwise informations.

Tone: Tones are changes in apparent brightness of a color. (see: )
Trap: Trapping involves the addition of dots or pixels around the edges of an object so that you donít get white or colored gaps if the image is printed slightly out of register.

The black and white version has had a masked adjustment curve applied to increase the range from light to dark in the whole picture (I never use contrast or brightness controls in Photoshop - curves give so much more control) Working at 16 bit means ...

When brightness changes, the human eye adapts so that a white object still looks white.

The packages from both brands include a colorimeter, which is the hardware measuring device that you place on the monitor for reading brightness, contrast and colors.

A View vpoint, perspective, arrangements of the subjects, colour and brightness of subjects, principal subject and many other factors affect the scene and I think they are much more important than the traditional rules of composition.

MOULD MADE PAPER - Mould made watercolour boards offer good colour flow and brightness. This makes them usable not only for watercolour but also for gouache, tempers, lavis, and for charcoal and pencil drawings.

In the case where the repeated patterns on the wafer are uniform, the reflected light produces an image of uniform brightness.

In conventional photography this is measured in stops (a stop equals a factor of 2 in brightness, e.g. 5 stops = 32 times brightness difference, 10 stops = 1024 times). For digital cameras it is normally represented by the bit depth, usually 24bits.

The graphics software from Adobe - Photoshop - with its more advanced options a person can edit each of the colours in the image to lighten or darken and provide the effect of brightness in varying intensity too.
