This is great advise – but I would suggest they anyone using these tools should first make a background copy under layer in tools. This way any changes made are made to the duplicate layer and can easily be deleted. Also rather than make these changes under the Image command it would be much safer to make these changes with a “Adjustment layer” found under the layer command. The histogram level, curves, and contrast can all be found under layers. Making these changes to your photo by creating an adjustment layer makes it easy to delete any mistakes without having to start all over. Any layer can be deleted by dragging it to the trash in the layers work pane.

This is amazing! I am a graphic designer by training and I am just learning how to effectively use color correction. Most important thing I’ve learned is to start with a well lit photo. I think it would be hard to color correct a photo that wasn’t that good to start with.

Thanks for the explanation on the histogram. I was never quite sure how to utilize the information from it.

Wow, what an amazing difference! I didn’t even notice the hooks on the starfish until the last photo. Will definitely have to play around on photoshop tonight.
