A nice thing in Photoshop is that there are many ways to achieve the same. It�s just a matter of preferences, I like the kind of control the curves give, probably because it was the first tool I learned.

Why not use levels for that?

I always try to stretch the scale so that the image contains both areas

often seem grey. It�s the same thing I do in the darkroom, it is done
by controlling both contrast and the overall exposure. In Photoshop I
use the curve tool.

I have a question concerning digital capture (scanning or digital
photography)
that need answering. If I have a scene or negative that has a contrast
range
that it less than the sensor/scanner ( i.e. the histogram width is
narrower
that the histogram width range), is it better to:


1. center the recorded histogram
2. bias the histogram towards the lighter tones taking care not
   no clip any highlights
3. bias the histogram towards the darker tones taking care not
   to clip any of the darker/black tones

I have a feeling the correct way is #2 or possibly #1 but I am not
sure.
Anyone know?
