Progress Bar
Progress Bar is designed to display the progress of the operator execution process. Not all operators use the Progress Bar, only those that require complex calculations. On some operating systems of the Linux family, the Progress Bar can cause Blender to crash. To avoid this situation, you can disable the Progress Bar in Panel - Preferences - Display Progress Bar.
Darken Image
The Darken Image operator is designed to adjust the darkening of an Image in the context of the UV Editor. It does not change the texture but uses color management curve to darken it.
