Hello I thought about this thread to help non-english people to ask some questions about translating.

So first question is :

Let's say I have a filter to dim brightness. This filter would have two strengths.

I would like to call the heaviest one "strong".

What would the other call then ? "Weak" ??

Brightness of what? The skin colour (so a visual thing) or the sound (an audible thing)?

If it's brightness of the skin, I would suggest 'bright' and 'dim' or 'dull'.

If the highest setting is 'Strong' then the lowest setting would be 'weak' or you cold use 'mild'

but you yourself used,
heaviest > lightest

Oh yeah !

mild : doux (soft, sweet, mild, gentle, smooth, tender)

That seems to be my answer ! Btw it is for dimming some images, not sound. Also that's not to describe high and low values (+ / -), but two steps of a lowering filter (- / --).

So, mild / strong seems to be a convenient couple ?
