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 6.0 Tools 6.0 Palettes
