Controlling brightness and contrast of paper grain
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.
