# Adjustments

Enhance image details

Use **Adjustments** to change the appearance of your images. There is no on/off switch: adjustments apply whenever a slider is moved away from its default, and you can combine any of the six controls.

| Adjustment | What it does                                                                           |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Brightness | Lighten or darken the image. The default is 0%.                                        |
| Contrast   | Increase or decrease the difference between light and dark areas. The default is 100%. |
| Sepia      | Add a brown-toned wash for an older photographic look.                                 |
| Monochrome | Desaturate the image towards black and white.                                          |
| Sharpen    | Increase edge definition.                                                              |
| Vibrance   | Adjust colour intensity.                                                               |

Double-click an adjustment's percentage to reset it to its default value. Once any slider has moved, a reset button (a circular arrow) appears beside the section title; click it to return every slider to its default and stop applying adjustments.

Use the [preview pane](/squash/quick-guide/editor.md) to compare the original and output as you adjust the sliders. A setting that suits one photo may look different on another, so check a few images in your batch before exporting.

Save a combination you use regularly as a [Preset](/squash/quick-guide/presets.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/squash/quick-guide/nodes/adjustments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
