Frequently Asked Questions

- Going overboard with increasing the brightness of a very dark image may result in image noise. Image noise is also known as grain—those miniscule white spots that you may find in dark images that have been brightened. Too much grain can lower the sharpness and overall quality of your image.
- You can do so by adjusting all the other properties of the photo as well. Adjust its contrast and saturation along with the brightness. With our photo editing dashboard, you can play around with all the other properties of your image, including its warmth, vibrance, clarity, and fade.
