How to work with curves
So far, so good, but the next step requires a little more dexterity with the curves dialog, so I'm going to take you on a little detour and explore a few of its features.



Curves Preview
The figure shows the mouse over the Preview check box. Clicking this off and on shows the image before and after the curve is applied. Get used to using this a lot. It's the best way to see where you are going and to make mid course corrections.
