CurvesAny thing you can do in levels you can do more accurately in curves. At first curves may seem a bit daunting but, with a little practice, you'll soon only use levels for basic adjustments. For example before using curves I set the shadow and highlight points to the ends of the histogram in levels, this may be the only adjustment required but if you wish to make fine adjustments, especially to the mid-tone range curves will do a better job. Curves can be used to adjust contrast, shadow and highlight adjustment; colour correction, mid-tone contrast, and any of these adjustments can be applied to any portion of the image preferably using a layer for each adjustment. In other words you have complete control over your image just as one did in the darkroom only more so. |
