any shortcut keys for adjusting brightness and contrast?
Control-M. This brings up the Curves command.
Curves can do everything that Brightness/contrast can do and a whole lot more besides. When newbies first get Photoshop, they tend to use Brightness/Contrast, but this is not a good idea. The
Brightness/Contrast command is a "linear" command; each time you use it, it degrades the quality of your image by clipping detail from the hilight and/or shadow areas of the image.
Curves can do everything Brightness/Contrast can do, but Curves is "nonlinear;" it does not degrade your image by clipping detail. This is why Curves has a keyboard shortcut and Brightness/Contrast does not. Once oyu learn Curves, you will never use Brightness/Contrast again.
