Is there a way to increase the brightness of the environment in the background node (without adding an extra light, just using the hdr lighting)? I can use the Ground object with an emission value and make Ground not visible in camera. That lightens the objects in the scene but not the background pic. But it's like adding another light. I just wondered if the Cast Light can be made brighter in the background node for Superfly P12 renders. Just curious. Can't figure out what to select in Cycles.
