Fun Fact

Human eyes perceive brightness non-linearly, which means small changes in lightness can often make a huge difference in how vibrant or clear an image feels to the viewer.

Adjusting image lightness has been a core part of photography since the early days of darkrooms. Photographers once used chemical exposure techniques to brighten or darken prints. Modern digital tools replicate those classic methods instantly using mathematical color adjustments, making professional-style editing accessible to everyone.
