All photos are selected by default but can be deselected by clicking the UnCheck all option at the bottom of the preview window. Click the Get Photos button to start the import process.
The simplest way to make a photo brighter using the Curves feature is to click-drag the midtone part of the curve upwards. Dragging the curve downwards makes the photo darker. Using curves to perform this action means that both the shadows and highlight tones are left untouched by the changes.
