add contrast via curves | klemmg
![Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 302 W: 40 N: 484]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-s-g.gif) (1719) [2006-08-08 16:15:04] [4] | Particularly the parts that should be black (pupil) seem dark brown on my monitor (if you have your monitor optimised for text, you may have a very high contrast value and this will not be noticeable).
Also generally the contrast seems a bit low, though this is very much depending on taste.
I added contrast and at the same time readjusted black and white point via curves in PS as follows:
1. Convert from rgb to lab mode to change lightness channel only (if you add contrast in rgb, you will at the same time add saturation!)
2. Adjust the linear "curve" into a S-shaped curve. This makes the dark areas darker and the light areas lighter.
3. Convert from lab to rgb
4. I needed to compress the file somewhat to bring it under 200 KB again
That's it.
Hope you like this variation of your great picture!
