Use this tool to measure the light in different areas of the image and adjust the exposure accordingly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use the correct exposure:<\/strong> Once you have measured the light, adjust the exposure of the image to achieve the tonal key you want. If you want a darker image, decrease the exposure. If you want a lighter image, increase the exposure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use editing:<\/strong> If you didn't manage to get the tonal key you wanted when you took the photo, don't worry. You can adjust the tonal key in editing. Use tools such as brightness and contrast adjustment to adjust the tonal key of the image.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice:<\/strong> Tonal key is an important aspect of photography and can be difficult to master at first.
