I think I finally figured out the s-curve... LOL
Before, I had been trying to adjust contrast and then saturation. It seems the s-curve brings out the best of both. What do you think? Am I on the right track?
More info for people that don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

So now we'll be treated to cheese that pops more? :P

| I have some examples of Curves in use including some screen shots ... you'll see that they are very versatile, and can be used for many things besides improving your photos ... : ) |

Yup, they make excellent parting gifts for those that didn't win challenges ;-)
I'd like to thank taterbug for bringing them to my attention in his critique of my Candid III entry. Thanks man, very helpful.

Oh, wow! Wow, wow, WOW! I think I finally got it! :-) Thanks, Leroy!
Here's a shot I just tinkered with using curves. I did the Red, Green, and Blue separately, mostly enhancing the blue and red, and cutting down on the green.

Curves'd:
So whatcha think?
Also, even though I'm really excited about this, if there's something you don't like about it, or have suggestions for improvements, please let me know. Hey, you may tell me something that I'll get even more excited about! (in a good way)

Here's the best one I've seen :0)

The curves lesson was great for getting specific tonal ranges with the color, as you hopefully can see in the last image... |

Wow - thanks, Laura. :) I can see I'm going to have to really sit and read/work through this one. There's a lot of info there.
Thanks so much!
