How do you increase the contrast of an image in the Background layer?

  1. Adjust the brightness settings

  2. Modify the contrasts in the adjustments menu

  3. Choose Image > Adjustments > Contrast

  4. Set contrast levels directly in image properties

The correct answer is: Choose Image > Adjustments > Contrast

To increase the contrast of an image in the Background layer, selecting the option that involves navigating to the Adjustments menu is effective because it provides a straightforward method for directly enhancing the visual contrast. By going through the path Image > Adjustments > Contrast, you can access specific tools designed to manipulate the contrast settings. This option allows for precise adjustments, which can significantly improve the image's clarity and distinction between light and dark elements. The other choices, while they may relate to image adjustments, do not provide the focused approach that the correct answer offers. Adjusting brightness settings might alter the overall illumination without effectively changing the distinction between tonal values, while modifying contrasts in a general adjustments menu may not direct you to the most impactful tools available for contrast enhancement. Lastly, setting contrast levels directly in image properties does not specifically refer to the standard measures for contrast adjustments and may not provide the level of control or effectiveness as the direct adjustment method cited in the correct choice.
