Hello everyone,  
Something strange just happened. I don’t know why but suddenly 3dSlicer is loading my tiff and dcom images brighter than the original (as I show below).

The thing is I used to be able to see this and other files accordingly, at least on another computer. I was able to adjust the contrast and brightness to somewhat fix this, but, does someone know how can I fix it?

Does the min/max ranges of your older and newer datasets are similar?

Probably you use a very old Slicer release. [Behavior of current Slicer versions are not like this anymore](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/recent-improvements-in-window-level-management/7284).

Let us know if the problem persists.

thank you very much, that was the problem. The version in this PC was outdated
