Digital Darkroom : Curves written by =pecchio [posted by *photo-class] is an excellent tutorial to the Curves tool, one of the most important tools (yet one of the most difficult, as well) for editing photos. ( Suggested by ~diamondie and Featured by `bleedsopretty )

_{This is very helpful. I've been looking for a tutorial on curves that would be easy to understand. I've been searching the internet and they're all just hard to understand. Thanks for posting this one. Great help. xD Heheh. I like how you cut it in three parts. That made me understand it better since I could associate the mid tones, bright, shadows, with the levels tool.

Thanks again for the awesome tutorial.}

I never knew Photoshop could do this. Thanks.

I have been recently manipulating my photos with curves, though before now I didn't know they were called curves. I've been using a program that came with my camera. There I get to manipulate the Red, Green, Blue, and RGB curves. I move the Red, green, blue up and the RGB in the oposite direction so I get both the bottom two of the three major curves you show in your tutorial. Seems to make the colors brighter in a desired way without doing much else. What exactly am I doing?

Thanks.

The yearbook staff that I'm on right now could really benefit from using this for some of our pictures!

Fantastic tutorial, I can't thank you enough! I've certainly played with Curves before, but have never used nor understood anchor points! This is extremely helpful for me, using dramtic lighting in my nudes!
