Offset

Offset raises or lowers every tone of the image at once — the entire waveform slides up or down as one — while the offset ring pushes the whole image’s color one way. It’s the fastest route to “brighter and warmer” or “darker and cooler,” and the recommended starting move: set overall exposure and remove the gross color cast with offset before fine-tuning with lift/gamma/gain.
