I generally tweak the saturation and contrast, and sometimes the brightness, for my photos. Is there a rule of thumb as to what order to tweak stuff? Is there a web site somewhere I ought to read before asking questions like this? thanks -daveh

Dave, I always go to levels first after scanning into PS, slide from the left to the start of the curve and then from the right. I find this is always a good starting point and in most cases all I need, when tweaking scanned pictures. :O)

I'm using PhotoshopLE. Looks like it's time to RTFM. Thanks for your suggestions. -daveh
