[APML] Histograms

[Alan Voetsch <critter12952@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

As I've been playing around with Photoshop stuff:
contrast/brightness; hue/saturation; color balance;
levels; and curves, I've noticed the histogram changes
from what looks like the silhouette of a hill, to
something that looks like a picket fence if the pieces
of wood were placed about an inch apart and viewed
from about thirty feet away. In other words, lots of
steep, narrow spikes. The images are improving, but is
this what I want?

You know what I'd really like to see? I'd like to see
someone who knows what they're doing go through the
basic processing steps. One at a time, right before my
eyes. You all have filled in a lot of blanks for me
but there are still gaps as wide as the Pacific Ocean
in my hands-on knowledge. 

Thanks,
Alan
