I'm new to PhotoShop CS and the Camera Raw functionality. I have a question:
What is the difference between adjusting the Exposure versus adjusting the Brightness?
I understand all of the other options. It just seems to me that Exposure and Brightness are doing the same thing. So what am I missing?

Real World Camera RAW will explain everything and more to you... :o)
Exposure adjustment is like adjusting the exposure when you take the shot. Brightness is just brightening the whole scene. Not quite the same.

I wish I could see the difference... Visually (both in the picture and in the histogram) the effect appears to be the same. I know there has to be a reason for having both, so I must not understand the difference.
Anybody else have any information to offer? (hate to have to order a book just to answer this one question)

Here is a good article...

Check out the Exposure Slider info
It's different from the brightness in that it "will control the brightness of the brightest area of your image." Whereas, the brightness adjusts "the overall brightness of your image without screwing up the brightest or darkest areas." (quotes from website)
