Effect

Exposure

Raise or lower exposure with simple photographic controls.

Exposure is the photographic act of deciding how much light reaches the record. Stops of brightness remain the simplest way to talk about it, whether you are at a camera or in a grade.

Raising exposure lifts the whole frame; lowering it densifies. Combine with contrast when you need shape as well as brightness.
