Adjust Exposure

The Exposure adjustment changes three components of the image to darken or lighten it.

To adjust the exposure of an image:

  1. Click Adjust | Exposure.

  2. In the Adjust Exposure dialog box, set the White, Black and Gamma options for the image.

  3. Click the Proof button to view a preview in the Main Display area.  Change the settings as you like.

  4. Click OK.

White

Increases the brightness of the light areas of an image.

Black

Increases the blackness of the dark areas of an image.

Gamma

Changes the amount of light that is applied to the image.  Higher values are brighter, lower values are darker.

Auto Levels

Auto Levels changes to the same values as the Exposure settings, without you having to make the adjustments. FotoCanvas analyzes the images and corrects these values to produce a clearer image.
