Can help darken when you’re too close and the flash overexposes your subject
Start with AutoBrightness Brightness – the lightness of the colors Contrast – the difference between the lightest and
darkest colors Midtones – the colors in between (what contrast doesn’t
fix)

Enhance Color button – fixes colors using white as a benchmark
Amount and Hue – work together to affect the base color
