How to fix poor lighting in photos
What's the story
Brightening up your photos can make a world of difference in how they look.
For Android users, the "Adjust Brightness" tool is your secret weapon for turning dull photos into vibrant memories.
Whether you're using a built-in photo editing app or a third-party application, adjusting the brightness of your photos can bring out the best in your images.
This guide will show you how it's done, step by step.
Opening app
Open your preferred photo editing app
The first step is to locate and open the photo editing application on your Android device.
Most smartphones have built-in editing tools, such as Samsung Gallery or Google Photos.
If you don't have a built-in app, there are plenty of third-party apps you can download that provide advanced editing features.
Selection and edit
Selecting and editing your photo
Scroll through your gallery to locate the photo you want to edit.
Once chosen, tap on an edit or pencil icon to enter the editing interface. This icon is usually located at the bottom or top of the screen.
Tapping on it will open a range of tools for adjusting your photo.
Brightness adjustment
Adjusting brightness for better lighting
Locate the brightness tool in your editing interface. It's usually indicated by a sun icon or simply labeled "brightness."
Tap on it to reveal a slider for adjusting brightness levels. Moving the slider to the right increases brightness, adding light to your photo, while moving it to the left reduces it, creating depth.
This adjustment primarily impacts midtones, but it can significantly contribute to a photo's natural and balanced appearance.
