Disable Auto-Brightness
The iPad has a great feature that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen according to the ambient brightness at your location. It is on by default. When you are sat by the window or some other bright location the screen brightness increases to compensate, and vice-versa. This works really well but is not good for image editing when need some consistency so turn the feature off. Go to Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper and flick the slider.
Choose your location
The brightness of the ambient light where you are using your iPad makes a huge difference to the way the screen looks. If you are in a bright location the screen will look dim and the colours washed out no matter how high you turn the brightness up. Similarly if you are in a very dark place the screen is going to look very bright indeed, and even hurt your eyes – if you have every used your iPad in the dark with the lights out you will know what I mean! – it is not possible to turn the brightness down very far. So it comes as no surprise to be somewhere not too bright and not too dark and don’t have sunlight falling across the screen.
Set a specific brightness
The next thing is to set a suitable brightness manually so while you are in the Brightness & Wallpaper setting you can adjust the slider to set the brightness you need.. but how bright or dim should it be? You need to use a familiar image as a reference.
