One of the most important image adjustment features in a professional photographer’s workflow is Curves (a sort of Levels command on steroids). Color Curves has now made a welcome appearance in the Enhance menu in Photoshop Elements but it is still not available as an adjustment layer. This project shows you several ways to control contrast using adjustment layers to increase your post-production editing power to maximum performance.
This tutorial demonstrates how to covert an image into a true black and white using threshold. Not to be mistaken with grayscale or monochrome, threshold coverts color pixels into either black or white. This technique is great at creating silhouettes or shadowy figures.
