Useful TIP No. 1 for Photoshop users

When adjusting color and contrast, the easiest option is to key control L which brings up the levels window. This pulls up a histogram and you have the ability to move the sliding arrows at the bottom to change how the photo looks.
You can change it for all colors at the same time or the drop down at the top lets you adjust each color separately. The right arrow controls the light colors, middle the mid tones and the left arrow the dark tones. If the histogram has a gap at either side, sliding the right or left arrow to meet the dark part of the histogram creates a balanced photo. This is a great tool for pictures that look too dark or too light.
