Jay Arraich’s Photoshop Tips - Curves, Levels, or Contrast/Brightness?


	Curves, Levels, or Contrast/Brightness? page four Here is the Contrast/Brightness comparison. In Photoshop v. 6.0 I chose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Contrast/Brightness. In version 5.5 you would choose Layer > New > Adjustment Layer and choose Brightness/Contrast from the menu. In the dialog box, with Preview checked so I could judge my changes before applying them, I gave the image a +25 % contrast change. I did not change brightness. The adjusted image detail is shown on the left. The original, unadjusted image detail is shown on the right.	back next start Tips 7 Tools 7 Palettes
