It looks like this is an old message that has been stuck waiting for a 
moderator to release it, but in case you are still interested in the answer 
here goes.

There used to be a parameter in the color map named Scalar Opacity Unit 
Distance (or something like that) that could be used to uniformly control how 
opaque the opacity parameter is interpreted. However, it looks like that option 
was removed from the GUI quite a while ago (probably because no one understood 
it). The effect would be a perceived change in the brightness of the volume.

You can still get around it through the Python interface though. I used that to 
create the following pair of macros. To load them in ParaView, go to the Macros 
-> Add New Macro menu item and load in each file. You can then increase and 
decrease the brightness of a volume rendering by hitting the two macro buttons.

Sorry for the delay.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Volume Rendering "Brightness"

Hello all,
This may be a silly question, but is there a way to increase the brightness of 
a volume rendering?  For instance, in the image below, the render on the right 
is brighter than the render on the left:

[Inline image 1]
The difference is that the image on the right is just two volume 
representations of the same object.  Is there a smarter way to increase the 
brightness?
Thanks,
Evan Kao
