Visibility
Proper brightness ensures that the subject of your image is visible and easy to see for your audience. Too dark images can obscure details, while overly bright images may wash out colors.

Why Adjust Brightness in an Image?
Emotions
The brightness level can influence emotions. For instance, brighter images often evoke feelings of happiness and cheerfulness, while darker images might convey drama or melancholy.
Details
Adjusting brightness can help to showcase specific elements of an image. Increasing brightness can draw attention to details that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Consistency
For projects involving multiple images, consistent brightness levels can unify the overall aesthetic of the work. This is especially crucial in professional portfolios, presentations, or social media feeds.
Compensate
Various lighting conditions can dramatically alter the appearance of images. Adjusting brightness allows you to compensate for poor lighting situations, which is particularly useful in photography.

What is the difference between brightness and exposure in photography?
Brightness refers to the overall lightness or darkness of an image, whereas exposure pertains to the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor. Brightness can be adjusted in post-processing, while exposure is determined at the time of shooting.
Can brightness adjustments fix a poorly taken image?
While brightness adjustments can enhance an image, they cannot completely fix fundamental issues like out-of-focus shots or severe underexposure. However, they can improve visibility and make certain elements clearer.
Should I always adjust brightness?
Not necessarily. Adjusting brightness is subjective and can depend on your goals for the image. Always consider whether the current brightness conveys your intended message or mood.
Is adjusting brightness the same as adjusting contrast?
No, they are different. Brightness changes the overall luminance of the image, while contrast increases or decreases the difference between the darkest and lightest parts of the image.
