overlightened
Excessively made bright
Overlightened describes something that has been made too bright or given excessive lighting.
In photography and image editing, an overlightened photo has lost detail in bright areas due to overexposure: The shadows are fine but the sky is completely overlightened.
The term applies to any visual medium where illumination has been pushed past the point of aesthetic balance.
