So for many to save time and for those that don’t understand Levels or aren’t getting the results they would like, the screen adjustment is very fast and easy.

I don’t want to leave the impression that adjusting Levels in a layer is destructive. It’s not. It is however, destructive to edit the photo directly without an adjustment layer. The more editing you do to a photo will greatly effect the quality of the final image.

Many of the hundreds, if not thousands of options available in Photoshop are unknown to most. Here I’d like to try and show some of the ones I’ve learned in an easy to understand format. This is just another simple method to achieve a similar result in less time and less fiddling.

In a future article, I will discuss Layers Levels and exposure adjusting. The idea of the first article (and many more to follow) is to offer simple and clear ways to enhance your images without spending hours on the computer.

Of course if you want to spend hours reading these pages, we’d love it.
