Here is a little trick I do with curves on a lot of my photos:
do a curves adjustment layer, when the curves box opens, put an anchor point dead center where the lines cross, then put a point at the intersection of the top 2 lines, and drag that point up, put a point at the intersection of the bottom 2 lines, drag that point down, so you will end up with a big 'S' looking curve. Hit ok, don't freak out, the picture will look like crap :-), then immediately in the layers palatte, click on the 'opacity', and slide the slider all the way to 0, then slowly bring it back up, to taste. Usually somewhere between like 8 and 20. This can like add some tonal range, and a little depth, IMO. Anyways, if you like, try it out and see what you think. :-) |
