Brightness and Contrast

The classic tonal pair: an additive brightness shift and a contrast that pivots around a point you choose.

Two different moves

Brightness adds the same amount to every pixel. Contrast scales the tones away from, or toward, a pivot point, so the darks get darker and the lights get lighter as you raise it.

The pivot is the part most tools hide. Drag it toward the shadows and the contrast works mostly on the dark end; drag it toward the highlights and it works on the bright end.
