Curves (Tonal Adjustments?)

[Randy]

Can anyone point me towards an explanation and practical use of Levels and Curves, Curves in particular? Not much in the PS7 User Guide on these.
Thanks,
-Randy

This is a QuickTime movie on Apple's site that explains it very well...it's actually from Total Training. If you're on a PC, you may be a bit disconcerted at the references to the "Apple" or "Command" key; just make a mental switch to the Control key.

Excellent resources, Julie on this subject matter.
Here's another one Randy that is worth a read, as well. http://www.arraich.com/ps6_tips_ccontrast1.htm
