Nothing radical, of course. Basically just the digital equivalent of what has been done in the traditional darkroom for years. With any number of ways to do even simple things, Photoshop can seem a bit overwhelming at first though. We looked last week at Brightness and Contrast and discovered why they really don't work that well. Now it's time to follow though on my promise to explain why Levels is a much better alternative."</i><br /><br />The photographer Bob Johnson shares his expertise in a series of weekly photography and photo editing tips on his site <a href="http://www.earthboundlight.com/phototips.html">EARTHBOUND Light</a>. This week he shows how photos can be enhanced through the adjustment of lighting levels in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. And all that in a 'beginner-proof' way :D
