Two of the most useful adjust controls in Photos are the Shadows and Highlights adjustments. You can bring out detail in dark or bright portions of a photo without changing the rest. An overall light adjustment slider also can bring out the real color of a photo.

Thank you so much, Gary! I haven't really explored the Photos app. This is great! I've been a bit overwhelmed with Photos, iPhotos, and Pictures, not knowing where I should be storing images and what the difference is between them, but this video will have me using the Photos app more deliberately. Terrific!

Great video, Gary! I didn't know about the last feature you showed: moving all the adjustments at one time! That is very interesting and helpful. Thanks for your efforts.
