# Logarithmic Mode: Modifying the Brightness

When you modify brightness, colours appear to emit more or less light. You can modify brightness across the entire image or just in the shadows, midtones, and highlights. You can also view and make printer light adjustments. Reset the brightness settings to their original values at any time.
