Other good editors have it too.  I moved both Black Point and White Point inward a little.  This does cause clipping, here just in the sky and white waves (and the darkest areas), but the added contrast (blacker blacks, whiter whites) compensates in value.  In Adobe, you can hold the Alt Key while moving the end sliders, and it shows you which pixels are being clipped. Nothing else was done here, but a bit of sharpening can help too.<img src="http://www.scantips.com/g2/contrast.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
