Re: roark vs qtr - newbie q.

Brad, open a file in PS and click on either Layer/New Adjustment 
Layer/Curves or Image/Adjust/Curves and a curve box will open with a 
4x4 grid.  Where the oblique line hits the 2d and 4th (there are 5 
total) click at the intersections.  Drag the top most one slightly 
higher and the bottom one slightly lower.  Then click the preview 
checkbox once and then again.  Observe the difference in contrast.  
Then drag the points again up or down and repeat the preview.  
Repeat the process until you are pleased with the contrast.  This is 
a good way to start experimenting with curves. - Andrew
