Very nicely put!

Thanks so much T Paul !

And all the other very useful tips and/or advice by Ro, Ed, Duv all Masters from my beginner's point of view. !

I do use curves more often than levels, though -up to now- I did not quite understand the fundamentals of either. I read the article in the first link about curves and the meaning and results to be obtained from all of the options and agree with Duv's description "WOW !!".

I'm more partial to levels than curves. I used the latter only for fine tuning but that's very seldom. Let's just say that I'm too afraid to use it. It's complicated and very delicate.

After reading the discussion here, now I'm convinced. Thanks, guys.
