Raster Toolbar

You can use this toolbar to stretch your continuous raster data (for example, DEM or satellite image data). This is done with the first four buttons shown previously, using a variety of stretches. On the last four buttons, you can increase/decrease the brightness of the raster and increase/decrease the contrast. This toolbar provides handy tools to quickly adjust your data. However, if you want more control, then use the Layer Styling Panel as previously demonstrated.
