Photos in macOS Sierra has some new tricks in its toolbox. One of the best is Brilliance, which brightens and lightens areas that are a bit dark and dreary. It's perfect for saving photos that might otherwise be too murky and adding drama to photos that are otherwise good but not great. Here's how it works!
How to find Brilliance in the Photos app
- Launch the Photos app on your Mac.
- Click on the photo you would like to edit.
- Click the edit button in the upper right corner. It looks like three lines with circles on them (sliders stacked one on top of each other).
- Click Adjust.
In the Light Adjustment section, the first option available should be Brilliance.

- Find the Brilliance editor. It should be at the top of the editing options.

When you are happy with how your photo looks, you can click Done in the upper right corner, or keep editing.
