The Brightness, Contrast and Exposure (BCE) tool changes the brightness,
contrast, and exposure setting of the entire image.
Brightness is the balance of light and dark shades in an image, while
contrast is the range between the darkest and lightest shades in the image.
On the other hand, exposure works like the exposure feature in photogra-
phy, allowing you to change exposure of the image by increasing or
reducing available light to the image. The Exposure control is a scanner
hardware-related feature, and using it correctly can allow more detail to
emerge in an image, especially if it was underexposed.
The goal in using the BCE tool is to get the fullest dynamic range possible
for your image. Because the BCE tool affects the image as a whole, you
can try using the Shadows and Highlights tool instead to get the effects you
want if you find that the BCE tool alters your image too much
