To change paper grain contrast

Brightness can be thought of as controlling the depth of the paper grain. The effect of lowering the paper’s brightness is similar to that of using a more shallow grain.

Contrast can be thought of as controlling the steepness of the paper grain. The grain in higher-contrast paper changes from high to low more quickly and with fewer intermediate levels than the grain in lower-contrast paper.
