None. It's a separate control on top of develop adjustments. It only

affects the print.

None of them...Brightness in the Print adjustment is a simple gamma adjustment (although the units don't relate to specific gamma changes). There is no adjustment in Develop that is the same. Exposure would be "similar" but would not share the same unit adjustments...so, you can't use anything in the Develop modual to predict wha rint adjustment setting to use–it's a trial and error process.

An important question is that if one has a properly calibrated monitor with the appropriate luminance setting and is using soft proofing, is this adjustment needed? In his Lightroom 4 book, Martin Evening suggests that it is usually not needed.

It is true; it's not needed. The problem though is that some of the calibration software recommend a luminance setting (sometimes also called brightness, or intensity) that is too high.

The correct luminance setting is between 100 and 120 cd/m2 (candles per square meter).

Indeed it is true. And how well do you suppose the sliders work IF you also use the soft proofing that is so wonderful in LR? Worse, if you use it, you insure that any time you print the same document in any other application, you’ll get another result. Fix the issue, the display to print matching and leave the sliders two those who need a crutch and don’t understand the proper use of color management.

Andrew Rodney,

I think there must be some misunderstanding: I was not recommending using the sliders in the print module - I am not the OP.

I was agreeing with you.
