    Text is too light adjusting brightness causes glare rather than sharpening text. Increasing font doesn't help either.

    How do I adjust contrast to darken + sharpen text?

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. How can I adjust contrast of a photo in the Windows 10 "Photos" app?

    Thanks for the detailed instructions. Your explanation threw me for a second because your text says contrast is under:

    • Edit&Create ->Edit->Enhance

    But the actual option is under (in your screen snapshot):

    • Edit&Create ->Edit->Adjust->Light->Click on the word "Light" to show Contrast (not the slider underneath the word Light which is associated with Light in unexpanded mode)

    I had found "Light" before, but didn't realize you could expand it by clicking on it since there was a slider control already associated with it in unexpanded mode (very tricky)

    I guess I'm not used to this new GUI style. Probably they'll change it again by time I get used to it.

    Anyway thanks
