* Just a note.
* One thing I haven't seen mentioned in this discussion is a 
* hidden feature of Photoshop 6 & 7. When using Levels if an 
* end point slider is moved while the Alt key (Windows) is 
* depressed only the areas being changed are shown.

Avery,

Thanks for the reminder! That is one of the many great little tools in PS
that I tend to forget about. This makes Levels very good for setting the B&W
points since you can see exactly what in the image might be getting clipped
as you move the sliders in toward your data.
