[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 330455, member: 12496"] Changing subject I guess, but I'm always disappointed no one ever asks or comments on the Curve tool. It is a powerful tool. It does the same jobs as Levels does, and more too, and with more finesse. Levels might be "easier", but Curves is much more powerful - a very important tool. I have a comparison of how to use the two tools (Levels and Curves) to do the same jobs, to compare them. It is not about the jobs, it is about adjusting the tools. It may make the false premise that most already understand Levels. :) But then it shows how the Curve tool does the same thing. [URL="http://www.scantips.com/curve/"]Photo Editor Curve Tool[/URL] Now this is not a tutorial about how to edit your pictures. It is comparing the tool adjustments, to show the way they do the same jobs. No tutorials ever mention any of this, but to me, knowing this makes it easy to use. It is the basic concepts of adjusting the tools. If it were explaining screwdrivers, it is about putting the tool in the slot and turning. It is not about the fancy chair you may be building. :) [/QUOTE]
