As with all tutorials in this series, I'm using Photoshop CC (Creative Cloud) but everything is fully compatible with Photoshop CS6 as well.Äownload this tutorial as a print-ready PDF! If you're not familiar with the Brightness/Contrast command, I highly recommend reading through our Applying A Brightness/Contrast Image Adjustment In Photoshop tutorial first before you continue. Since I covered everything about how the Brightness/Contrast command works in the previous tutorial, I'll be moving a bit more quickly here so we can focus more on how to apply it as an adjustment layer. So in this tutorial, we'll learn how to easily apply the Brightness/Contrast command not as a static adjustment but as a flexible and fully-editable adjustment layer! A better way to work is by using non-destructive methods to accomplish the same things, and one of the best ways to do that is by taking advantage of adjustment layers. ![]() This type of workflow is known as destructive editing and is something we should always try to avoid. The problem with static adjustments, though, is that they make permanent changes to the pixels in our image which makes it tough to go back and re-edit things later. We covered how to apply it as a static adjustment in the previous tutorial. There's two ways that we can apply Photoshop's Brightness/Contrast command one is as a static adjustment, the other is as an adjustment layer. Unlike the fully automatic Auto Tone, Auto Contrast and Auto Color commands that we looked at in the beginning of this series which offer no way to adjust or fine-tune the results after applying them, the Brightness/Contrast command gives us manual control over our settings with easy to use, independent Brightness and Contrast sliders. In the previous tutorial in this series on tone and color correction in Photoshop, we learned all about the Brightness/Contrast image adjustment and how it can quickly and easily improve the overall brightness and contrast of an image.
