Push it to the left you get more left curve, push right to get more 
right curve.
It's really helpful to print one small image on a sheet of paper with 
several
different settings.  Get an idea of the range of possibilities and what 
you like.
It's may be surprising but everyone has their own idea of "neutral" and
whether they like it or not.
