Image Brightener App

Why should you fix the brightness of your photos?

A photo is made using two important components – the subject and the light. While you can frame the subject and create a composition any way you like, the ideal lighting always requires a good mix of dark and bright areas as a general rule.
Being able to control the lighting and brighten dark photos is an important ability to have as a photographer. And a good editing program helps you with that.
Whenever you need to adjust the brightness, sharpness and colors in a photo, a photo editor is of great use. Maybe you did not have the perfect lighting, or maybe you have made a mistake in the exposure settings or there was some camera shake. To fix such minor errors, a brightness increaser and sharpener is essential!

How to use Image Brightener Software?

SoftOrbits Photo Retoucher is a user-friendly old photo restoration software can be used as photo brightness editor designed to help you improve your image.
Along with basic exposure and color corrections, it also contains tools to remove scratches from scanned images, remove skin blemishes, colorize black and white photos and erase watermarks.

How to automatically brighten a photo?

Sometimes, adjusting all the settings and brightening a photo manually takes a lot of time. Complex lighting also makes it difficult to fix the exposure sometimes. This is why an auto brightness option is so useful!
When you click on the Image Correction option to begin editing, you will also see an Auto Correction button in the toolbar on the right. By simply clicking on this option, Image Brightener will analyze the image on its own and make all the adjustments for auto brightness!

The brightness, contrast and color will be corrected automatically so that the histogram and white balance becomes balanced. This auto brightening option is great for saving time!

How can Image Brightener adjust sharpness of the photo?

Apart from brightness, SoftOrbits Photo Brightener app also provides sharpness adjustments.
After clicking on the Image Correction option, at the bottom of the toolbar you will also see a Sharpen and a Soften button. You can use the Sharpen button to increase the sharpness, which makes all the edges, outlines and textures in the image stand out. But you should be careful to not increase it a lot – which creates and unnatural HDR-like look.
The Soften button creates the opposite effect. It will blend in the details and outlines to create a soft, dreamy look. It is useful if you really need to smoothen out the wrinkles and blemishes in a portrait photo.

What is the Gamma correction option?

Similar to brightness, gamma level also affects how light or dark your image appears, but they are not exactly the same.
Gamma setting controls how the image will look on different computer screens and monitors. If it is not adjusted properly, the photo might appear darker or brighter when viewed on different displays.
Gamma controls only the mid-tones, so when you increase the slider, Image Brightener will make those tones appear lighter and make the photo brighter. Increasing it too much will make the image appear washed out, even though the black and white areas have not been changed. It is advisable to keep the gamma levels around 1 as it works for most photos.

SoftOrbits Picture Brightener goes beyond brightening photos and offers many more features. In fact, it contains scratch remover tools and watermark eraser too!
