I’m sure a lot of people know this, but some may not. In Identify mode, or by clicking ‘compare’ on the main page (on PC), there are (+) and (-) buttons on the right side of the picture. These allow some increase or decrease in the image brightness. I use the feature a lot when identifying moth photos which may be under or overexposed. It can bring out some features which may not be visible in the original photo.  
Just a tip for those who may not know.
