Definition

Brightness refers to the overall light level in a thumbnail. Proper brightness ensures visibility across different screens and lighting conditions. Thumbnails that are too dark may lose details, while overly bright ones can appear washed out. Balance brightness to ensure key elements are clearly visible.
