Try this and change value using a slider:-

- (void)viewDidLoad{

   UIImage *aUIImage = showPickedImageView.image;
   CGImageRef aCGImage = aUIImage.CGImage;
   aCIImage = [CIImage imageWithCGImage:aCGImage];


   context = [[CIContext contextWithOptions:nil] retain];
   brightnessFilter = [[CIFilter filterWithName:@"CIColorControls" keysAndValues: @"inputImage", aCIImage, nil] retain];

}

- (IBAction)brightnessSliderValueChanged:(id)sender {

    [brightnessFilter setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:brightnessSlider.value ] forKey: @"inputBrightness"];
    outputImage = [brightnessFilter outputImage];
    CGImageRef cgiig = [context createCGImage:outputImage fromRect:[outputImage extent]];
    newUIImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgiig];
    CGImageRelease(cgiig);
    [showPickedImageView setImage:newUIImage];
}
